Question

I need help solving and checking the answer before my test tomorrow. ‍♀️im gonna fail so if you know anything please solve it and show how to check the answer ​

Answer 1

3. x = 5

4. -5 1/25

Explanation:

Question 3 Solving:

your equation is -3x + 5 = -10

subtract 5 from both sides to get the term with x alone: -3x = -15

divide both sides by -3 to isolate x (remember that a minus divided by minus is plus): x = 5

To check:

plug in 5 to x and see if you get -10 on both sides

-3(5) + 5 = -10

first multiply -3 and 5:

-15 + 5 = -10

then add 5 to -15:

-10 = -10

if the number are equal then you solved the equation correctly

Question 4:

multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator to the product, and that number will be your new numerator ( make sure to leave the negative sign out of this computation)

so multiply 2 and 5 to get 10, then add 4 to get 14

your new fraction is -14/5

practice doing the same thing to the other mixed fraction

you should get a new fraction of 9/5

multiply the numerators and denominators

so multiply -14 and 9, and multiply 5 and 5

you now have -126/25

divide 126 by 25 to get your whole number of the mixed fraction

you should have -5 ?/25

to find the numerator, multiply your whole number by your denominator (25 x 5 = 125), then subtract this from your numerator of the improper fraction

126-125 = 1

now you have an answer of -5 1/25

Answer 2

Explanation:

-3+5=-10

−3x+5−5=−10−5

−3x=−15

−3x÷−3=−15÷-3

x=5

(-2 4/5)(1 4/5)

=-14/5×19/5

=-14×9/5×5

=-126/25

=-5 1/25
