When solving the equation such as 2/3x = 4/5 , why would you multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/3 ?

Answer: Well you’re solving for “x,” so you’ll need to isolate this variable. This means we need to “get rid of” the fraction 2/3 that is attached to it. The faction is attached by the operation multiplication, so to remove it we must divide it on both sides. And division with fractions requires the reciprocal. (Try watching an explanation if you’re confused on why division requires reciprocals).

Answer:

Cost for skii: J(x) = 30x + 7

Cost for beach chair: B(x) = 5x + 3

=> Total cost = J(x) + B(x) = 30x + 7 + 5x + 3 = 35x + 10

=> Option C is correct.

Hope this helps!

What fraction of 1 pint is 1 cup
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<span>The answer is that the fraction of 1/2 pint is 1 cup. To solve this you must know the equivalence between pints and cups, and use the notion of proportions. Two cups equal one pint. Then you can state this proportion: 1 pint / 2 cups = x pint / 1 cup. When you solve for x you get: x = 1/2. Which means that 1 cup is 1/2 of 1 pint. </span>

Evaluate 8-2.<br>A. -16<br>B. -64<br>C. -1/64<br>D. 1/64<br> ​
makvit [3.9K]

I'm assuming you meant to write 8^(-2) or 8^{-2} where the -2 is the exponent over the 8.

If my assumption is correct, then we use the rule a^{-b} = \frac{1}{a^b}

So,

a^{-b} = \frac{1}{a^b}\\\\8^{-2} = \frac{1}{8^2}\\\\8^{-2} = \frac{1}{64}

<h3>Answer: Choice D.  1/64</h3>
