Step-by-step explanation:
if there is nothing missing, we have
x + 25/-8 = -6
in order to compare or add or subtract fractions, we need to bring them all to the same denominator (bottom part).
remember, integer numbers are fractions too. like here
-6 = -6/1
25/-8 = -25/8
so, how can we bring -6/1 to .../8 ?
by multiplying 1 by 8.
but we cannot multiply only the denominator by 8. otherwise we would suddenly have
-6/8
and is -6/8 = -6/1 ? no, certainly not.
to keep the original value of the fraction we have to do the same multiplication also with the numerator (top part).
so, we actually do
-6/1 × 8/8 = -48/8
with this little trick we have now .../8 to operate with, and our transformed fraction has still the same value
-6/1 = -48/8 indeed.
so, we have
x + -25/8 = -48/8
x - 25/8 = -48/8
x = -48/8 + 25/8 = -23/8
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 12 ≤ 2x - 4 < 10 ( add 4 to all 3 intervals )
- 8 ≤ 2x < 14 ( divide all 3 intervals by 2 )
- 4 ≤ x < 7
5x-x=-2-7
4x=-9
x=2/3 or x=-2/3

Answer:
6x − 20y
Step-by-step explanation:
−2[−3(x − 2y) + 4y] =
= −2[−3x + 6y + 4y]
= −2[−3x + 10y]
= 6x − 20y
Answer:
y = 1/5x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you should know is that the slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal. So, the slope of line j is 1/5. This is your current equation: y=1/5x + b. Plug in your coordinate to the equation, it should look like this: 9=1/5(5)+ b. 1/5 times 5 equals 1, so this is what it should look like: 9=1 + b. Subtract 1 from both sides to get 8 = b. Go back to your original equation and plug in 8 to b. This is your final equation: y = 1/5x + 8. Hope this helped!
