Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, subtract 2 from both sides

2 (-2) - x = (5/8) - 2

-x = 5/8 - 2

Make sure they have the same denominator. Remember that what you multiply to the denominator, you multiply the numerator:

-x = 5/8 - 16/8

-x = - 11/8

Isolate the x. Divide -1 from both sides

(-x)/-1 = (-11/8)/-1

x = 11/8

11/8 is your answer for x

The volume of gas in a container at a constant temperature varies inversely as the pressure. If the volume is 32 cubic centimete

aleksklad [387]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The volume of gas in a container at a constant temperature varies inversely as the pressure.

$V_1=32\ cm^3\\\\P_1=8\ \text{pounds}\\\\V_2=60\ cm^3$

We need to find pressure $P_2$ .

According to question,

$\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}$

Putting all the values

$P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{8\times 32}{60}\\\\P_2=4.26\ \text{pounds}$

So, the pressure is 4.26 pounds.

What is 4 over 10 plus 88 over 100

denpristay [2]

Answer:

1.28

Step-by-step explanation:

4/10 + 88/100

so this is unlike denominators so

4 times 10 and 10 times 10 equal to 40/100

so 40/100 + 88/100 equal to 128/100 so we simplify 128÷2 and 100÷2 equal to 64/50 and 64÷2 and 50÷2 equals 32/25 we do long division then it is equal to 1.28

Y-3=-3y-43 how would i solve?

frez [133]

Answer: y−3=−3y−43

Step 1: Add 3y to both sides.

y−3+3y=−3y−43+3y

4y−3=−43

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides.

4y−3+3=−43+3

4y=−40

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

−40

What is true about the function graphed below?

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

D. The axis of symmetry is the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is at coordinates (0, 3). Since this parabola opens vertically, its axis of symmetry is the x=coordinate of the vertex: x = 0. That is the equation of the y-axis.

The axis of symmetry is the y-axis.
