Answer:
x = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find possibilities.
- We know one possibility: 8x - 6 = 0. This is because 0 cannot be positive or negative.
Step 2: Solve possibility 1.
(Add 6 to both sides)
(Divide both sides by 8)
Therefore, x = 3/4.
You sure seem to be asking a lot of questions lately. I'd like to see that you've been trying with these problems at least because if you can't get that first one it's almost like you missed the whole lesson.
1. 20 = 4b + 7 + 5
Add the 7 and 5.
20 = 4b + 12
Subtract 12 from each side.
8 = 4b
Divide each side by 4.
2 = b
2. 7 = 6k - 7k
6k - 7k = -1k. (the k acts as a sort of unit)
7 = -1k
Divide each side by -1.
-7 = k
3. 3.23 - 2m = 3 - 2(5m - 2)
Distribute the ×-2 to each term inside the parentheses.
3.23 - 2m = 3 - 10m + 4
Add the 3 and 4.
3.23 - 2m = 7 - 10m
Add 10m to each side.
3.23 + 8m = 7
Subtract 3.23 from each side.
8m = 3.77
Divide by 8.
m = 0.47125
4. -88/45=1/3r+2/5r
To get rid of the fractions, let's multiply everything by 45.
-88 = 15 + 18r
Subtract 15 from each side.
-103 = 18r
Divide by 18.
-103/18 = r
As a mixed number, r = -5 and 13/18
As a decimal, r = -5.7222...
I think Larry is 1/10 closer to Brianna's than Katie.

Im pretty sure it's the 2nd one
