If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.
Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
-3p+1/8=-1/4
subtract 1/8
-3p=-3/8
divide by -3
p=1/8
It isn’t really clear to me it’s confusing
I think -2/7.
-2/7 is closer to 0 which is neither positive nor negative.
-5/7 is closer to a whole negative number.
