Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying by their reciprocal.
5/24 ÷ 3/16
is the same as
5/24 * 16/3
80/72
simplify
10/9 or 1 1/9
The answer to this question would be C. Y=-10x-4
Assuming the question is 45x - 334x = 212
Then the answer is:
45x - 334x = 212
-289x = 212
x = -(212 / 289)
OR
x = -0.73
Our missing number we are solving for is X.
We are told x will equal 2x (number doubled) plus -16.
x = 2x + -16 We want to move the smaller variable to the right to sit with the larger one and move the -16 to the left by subtracting it from both sides. Remember that subtracting a negative is the same as adding it. So essentially we add 16 to both sides.
16 = 2x - x Combine the variables
16 = x or x = 16
I chose to put the variable on the left in this problem to avoid having a -x on the left side. It doesn't matter which side the variable is on to solve, but when you state it - we usually say x = 16.
you're answer is 0
If the numerator is 0, then your answer is 0
If the denominator is 0, then your answer is *undefined*
This is because, you can have 0 parts of a whole.
hope this helps
