2/3 is equivalent to 16/24
and 5/8 is equivalent to 15/24 miles
15/24+16/24= 31/24
31/24 simplifies to 1 6/24
Which simplifies down to 1 1/6
Miles ran 1 and 1/6 miles
Answer:
b = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean theorem
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c = 10
a = 6
b = ?
Substitute into the formula
10^2 = 6^2 + b^2
100 = 36 + b^2 Subtract 36 from both sides
100 - 36 = b^2 Combine
64 = b^2 Take the square root of both sides.
√64 = √b^2
b = 8
Solve the equation
So first we subtract 8 from both sides because we apply the inverse operation.
-2x+8=-16
-8 -8
Now we apply it and re write the equation
-2x=-24
Now the inverse operation for multiplication is division, so we apply it.
-2x=-24
------------
-2 -2
We are left with x=8
So our final answer is x=8
Check our work
-2(8)+8=-16
CORRECT ANSWER. :)
