Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x-8}{2}$ = $\frac{x-5}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

5(x - 8) = 2(x - 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

5x - 40 = 2x - 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

3x - 40 = - 10 ( add 40 to both sides )

3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x-8/2 = x-5/5

5(x-8) = 2(x-5)

5x-40 = 2x-10

3x= 30

x = 10

(-1, 5) because if you plug in -1 to both equations, you should get 5 from both equations. They also cross at that point, making that the solution.

What is 2/3 Time 2/3

klasskru [66]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3} * \frac{2}{3}$

you multiply across, so you do 2*2 for the numerator, then 3*3 for the denominator. This would equal 4 as the numerator, 9 as the denominator, which is $\frac{4}{9}$
