Answer:

x = -1.4, -7/5, or -1 2/5 (all same answer, just in different forms)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 1 to both sides.

$5x-1+1=-8+1$
$5x=-7$

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

$5x/5=-7/5$
x = -1.4, -7/5, or -1 2/5.

Sindrei [870]

Given equations are;
2a + 3b = -1 ..................equation 1
3a + 5b = -2 ....................equation 2

Now multiply equation 1 with (-3)

The equation will be;

-6a -9b = 3 …………………..equation 3

Now multiply equation 2 with (2)

The equation will be;

6a + 10b = -4 ……………..equation 4

Now add equation 3 and equation 4

-6a – 9b = 3

6a + 10b = -4

------------------------------

0a + b = -1

b = -1

Now put the value of b in equation 1

2a + 3(-1) = -1

2a -3 = -1

2a = -1+3

2a = 2

a=1

Thus the solution is (a,b) = (1,-1)

1/6m=5/8 i can't slove this question 8th Grade Math

murzikaleks [220]

we are given

$\frac{1}{6} m=\frac{5}{8}$

Since, we have to solve for m

so, we will try to isolate m on anyone side

so, firstly , we will get rid of 1/6

so, we can multiply both sides by 6

$6*\frac{1}{6} m=6*\frac{5}{8}$

$m=6*\frac{5}{8}$

now, we can simplify right side

$m=3*\frac{5}{4}$

now, we can multiply them

and we get

$m=\frac{15}{4}$ ...........Answer
