I believe the answer is Monday!
The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6
Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.
5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6
Then, simplify
65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−46+23=46x+23
(−46+23)=46x+23(Combine Like Terms)
−23=46x+23
−23=46x+23
Step 2: Flip the equation.
46x+23=−23
Step 3: Subtract 23 from both sides.
46x+23−23=−23−23
46x=−46
Step 4: Divide both sides by 46.
46x/46 = -46/46
Answer:
8 ft 8 in
Step-by-step explanation:
104/12 = 8.666...
This shows that there are 8 total feet because there are 12 inches in a foot
Then, multiply 8*12 to get 96 in order to get the remainder of the inches left that do not make up one whole foot.
Then subtract 96 from 104 (104-96) to get the remainder which is 8 inches.
