Answer:
16/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
8/3 - 8/5
Put 8/3 - 8/5 over the common denominator 15. 8/3 - 8/5 = (5×8)/15 + (3 (-8))/15:
(5×8)/15 + (3 (-8))/15
5×8 = 40:
40/15 + (3 (-8))/15
3 (-8) = -24:
40/15 + (-24)/15
40/15 - 24/15 = (40 - 24)/15:
(40 - 24)/15

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 13 + 4x + 2 = 180
Add the like terms,
5x + 15 = 180
Subtract 15 form both sides
5x + 15 - 15 = 180 -15
5x = 165
Divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 16/5
x = 33
Answer:
x = -3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
5(x + 4) = -2(-4 - x) + 3
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 5x + 20 = 8 + 2x + 3
- Combine like terms: 5x + 20 = 2x + 11
- Subtract 2x on both sides: 3x + 20 = 11
- Subtract 20 on both sides: 3x = -9
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = -3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 - -3) + 3
- Simplify: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 + 3) + 3
- Add: 5(1) = -2(-1) + 3
- Multiply: 5 = 2 + 3
- Add: 5 = 5
Here we see that 5 does indeed equal 5. ∴ x = -3 is a solution of the equation.
And we have our final answer!
465•10-5
(That -5 is suppose to be an exponent
