The number for x after the equals should be a 4
Divide 5/8 in 1 5/8 first. and get 0.625 now take the one and get 1.625.
now take the 8 1/4 and do the same to get 8.25
now divide 8.25 by 1.625.
and get 5.07692308
so the answer is 5
The third option can be represented by a linear function, y = -8x + 6.

Answer: 0.5</h3>
This is equivalent to the fraction 1/2
==============================================================
Explanation:
The distance from A to B is 3 units. We can count out the spaces, or subtract the x coordinates of the two points and apply absolute value.
|A-B| = |-5-(-8)| = |-5+8| = |3| = 3
or
|B-A| = |-8-(-5)| = |-8+5| = |-3| = 3
We can say that segment AB is 3 units long.
--------------------------
The distance from A' to B' is 1.5 units because...
|A'-B'| = |-2.5-(-4)| = |-2.5+4| = |1.5| = 1.5
or
|B'-A'| = |-4-(-2.5)| = |-4+2.5| = |-1.5| = 1.5
The absolute values ensure the distance is never negative.
We can say A'B' = 1.5
---------------------------
Now divide the lengths of A'B' over AB to get the scale factor k
k = (A'B')/(AB)
k = (1.5)/(3)
k = 0.5
0.5 converts to the fraction 1/2.
The smaller rectangle A'B'C'D' has side lengths that are exactly 1/2 as long compared to the side lengths of ABCD.

<u>Algebra and Equations</u>
When two or more equations are explicitly given, we can perform operations like addition, subtraction, product, and division with them, the left-hand sides of each equation apart from the right-hand sides. The resulting equation will not be independent of the others but may result in handy to solve the system.
We are given these two equations
If we wanted to subtract the second equation from the first, we must do the following
Simplifying (the x's will cancel)
