If EG = 59, and EF = 8x - 14, while FG = 4x + 1

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

EG = 59

EF = 8x - 14

FG = 4x + 1

to find the value of x

EF + FG = EG (same line)

8x - 14 + 4x + 1 = 59

12x -13 = 59

12x = 59 + 13

12x = 72

x = 72 ÷ 12

x = 6

You can even cross check for correct answer

EF + FG = EG

instead of x place the x's value we got

8x - 14 + 4x + 1 = 59

8 (6) - 14 + 4 (6) + 1 = 59

48 - 14 + 24 + 1 = 59

34 + 25 = 59

59 = 59

Answer:

3x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+10)\\\\\text{Distribute '3' into 'x + 10'}\\\\\\3(x+10)\rightarrow3x+30\\\\\left \{ {{3*x=3x} \atop {3*10=30}} \right.

3x + 30 would be an equivalent expression.

Hope this helps.

What are the slope and y intercept of the line 4y= -x - 32
Alona [7]
First you'll have to bring the equation in form y = mx + b.

4y = -x - 32
y = -1/4 x - 8

So the slope is -1/4 and y-intercept is -8

Hope this helps :)

Write the rational number as a decimal. Show your work. 5/9 -3/8 -3/11.
Bad White [126]

I have memorized facts about fractions like these, so can tell you ...

\dfrac{5}{9}=0.5\overline{5}\\\\-\dfrac{3}{8}=-3\times 0.125=-0.375\\\\-\dfrac{3}{11}=-0.27\overline{27}

_____

A fraction with 9 as a denominator is a repeating 1-digit decimal with the decimal digit being the numerator of the fraction.

A fraction with 11 as a denominator is a repeating 2-digit decimal with the two digits being 9 times the numerator of the fraction.

1/8 = 0.125, so any multiple of 1/8 is that multiple of 0.125.
