The answer to the first one is:
x=-5/4y+-1/2. Why?
In the equation 8x+10y=-4, you subtract 10y form each side which leaves you with 8x=-10y-4. Right? Then you divide each side by 8 which gives you the answer
The answer to the second one is the same answer to the first problem. Why? Because you can already divide each side which gives you x=-5/4y+-1/2.
Hope this helps :^)
Answer:
1 4/25 - 3/5, or 29/25 - 3/5, or 
it doesn't really matter they all mean the same
Step-by-step explanation:
1 2/5m - 3/5(2/5m + 1)
multiply first
1 2/5m - 6/25m - 3/5
multiply 1 2/5 only so the denominator is 25 as we can't simplify 6/25, it's so we can add them together, we can't add 3/5 tho bc it's a different term so there's no need to multiply that.
1 10/25m - 6/25m - 3/5
add/subtract
1 4/25m - 3/5

<u>QUESTION 1</u>
The first sentence is
.
Recall that;

We simplify the left hand side by applying this property to get;
.
.
We now rewrite the right hand side too in an index form to obtain;

We now equate the exponents to get;
.

.
<u>QUESTION 2</u>
The second sentence is 
We simplify the left hand side first to get;


We now rewrite the left hand side too in index form to obtain;

We equate the exponents to get;

This implies that;

or

b< 11: The board is shorter than 11 cm
b > 11: The box contains more than 11 books
b < 12: There are fewer than 12 beetles in a jar.
b > 12: The building is taller than 12 ft
