Step-by-step explanation:
if there is nothing missing, we have
x + 25/-8 = -6
in order to compare or add or subtract fractions, we need to bring them all to the same denominator (bottom part).
remember, integer numbers are fractions too. like here
-6 = -6/1
25/-8 = -25/8
so, how can we bring -6/1 to .../8 ?
by multiplying 1 by 8.
but we cannot multiply only the denominator by 8. otherwise we would suddenly have
-6/8
and is -6/8 = -6/1 ? no, certainly not.
to keep the original value of the fraction we have to do the same multiplication also with the numerator (top part).
so, we actually do
-6/1 × 8/8 = -48/8
with this little trick we have now .../8 to operate with, and our transformed fraction has still the same value
-6/1 = -48/8 indeed.
so, we have
x + -25/8 = -48/8
x - 25/8 = -48/8
x = -48/8 + 25/8 = -23/8
Answer:
3.33
Step-by-step explanation:
The slopes of the original function y = |x| are m = 1 and m = -1 (m is the variable used to represent slope).
when you add a coefficient (number) in front of |x|, it will either make the slopes steeper or more flat. the larger the value of the coefficient, the steeper the slope will be (vice versa for a coefficient smaller than 1, which would make the slope more flat than the parent(original) function).
because these are absolute value functions, they will have two slopes. one slope for the end going up from left to right, and one for the end going down from left to right. this means that one slope must be positive and the other slope must be negative for each function.
with this in mind, the slopes of y = 2|x| are m = 2 and m = -2. the coefficient of 2 narrows the function by a factor of 2 (it is twice as narrow as the parent function). the same rules apply to y = 4|x| with the slopes of this function as m = -4 and m = 4 (it is 4 times narrower than the parent function).
with the fraction coefficients, the function is being widened. therefore, the slopes of y = 1/2 |x| are m = -1/2 and m = 1/2. the slopes of y = 1/5 |x| are m = -1/5 and m = 1/5.
Answer:
m = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
2m + m -15 = 90
3m -15 = 90
+15 +15
3m = 105
/3 /3
m = 35
To check the work just insert 35 for m:
2(35) + 35 -15 = 90
70 + 35 -15 = 90
105 - 15 = 90
90 = 90
