What is the value of x

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

\cfrac{7}{9}\:x-\cfrac{4}{9}\:x=\cfrac{1}{4}+\cfrac{5}{12}

First, combine  \frac{7}{9} x and -\frac{4}{9} x =  \frac{1}{3} x

\cfrac{1}{3}\: x=\cfrac{1}{4} +\cfrac{5}{12}

LCM of 4 and 12 is 12, Convert 1/4 and 5/12 to fraction with denominator 12:

\cfrac{1}{3}\: x=\cfrac{3}{12} +\cfrac{5}{12}

Since 3/12 and 5/12 have the same denominator, let's add numerators:

\cfrac{1}{3}\:x=\cfrac{3+5}{12}

\cfrac{1}{3}\:x=\cfrac{8}{12}

Reduce the fraction 8/12 to lowest term by extracting and  canceling out 4,

\cfrac{1}{3} \:x=\cfrac{2}{3}

Multiply both sides by 3, reciprocal of 1/3:

x=\cfrac{2}{3} \times 3

Cancel out 3 and 3:

x=2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify the equation.

  1. \frac{7}{9}x -\frac{4}{9} =\frac{1}{4} +\frac{5}{12}
  2. \frac{3}{9}x= \frac{3}{12} +\frac{5}{12}
  3. \frac{3}{9}x=\frac{8}{12}
  4. \frac{1}{3}x=\frac{2}{3}

Now multiply both sides by 3.

x = 2

I hope it helps you. Please choose my answer as the BRAINLIEST.

Which of the following is the inverse of y = 2/3x + 1
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Y=3/2x - 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, switch the x and y in the equation. Then solve for y.

Y=2/3x+1

X=2/3y+1

X-1=2/3y

3/2(x-1)=y

3/2x-3/2=y

A gold mine has two​ elevators, one for equipment and another for the miners. The equipment elevator descends 4 feet per second.
Ad libitum [116K]

Let d_m,\ d_e represent the depth of the miner and equipments elevator, respectively. We know that equipment elevator descends with a velocity of v_e = 4 feet per second, and the miners one descends with a velocity of v_m = 15 feet per second.

If we start counting time (t=0) when the equipment elevator begins to descend, after t seconds its depth will be

d_e(t) = v_et = 4t

On the other hand, the miner elevator follows the same rule, but we have to use its velocity, and remember that it starts with a delay of thirty seconds:

d_m(t) = v_m(t-30) = 15(t - 30)

Now, we have to wait the 30 seconds of delay, and then another 14 seconds. This means that we want to know the positions of both elevators when t = 44. Let's plug this value into the two equations:

d_e(44) = 4\cdot 44 = 176

d_m(44) = 15(44-30) = 15\cdot 14 = 210

So, the equipment elevator is 176 feet deep, and the miner elevator is 210 feet deep, and thus this is the deeper one.

Solve for w.<br> -3(-8w+1) -w=5(w-1)-1<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.<br> W =
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

W = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(-8w+1) - w = 5(w-1) - 1 -> (Original equation)

24w - 3 - w = 5w - 5 - 1 -> (Expanded version)

23w - 3 = 5w - 6 -> (Simplified version)

18w - 3 = - 6 -> (Subtract 5w from both sides)

18w = - 3 -> (Add 3 to both sides)

w = 18/-3 which is - 6 -> (Doing 18/-3)
