Which of the following should be done to both sides of the equation −6x=48 to solve the value of x ?
add 6
multiply by −6
divide by −6
divide by 6
To solve for x in the equation −6x = 48, you need to isolate x on one side of the equation. To do that, you can perform the opposite operation of what is currently applied to x. Since x is multiplied by −6, you should divide both sides of the equation by −6, which is the inverse operation of multiplication.
So, the correct action to take is:
divide by −6
When you divide both sides by −6, you get:
−6x / −6 = 48 / −6
Which simplifies to:
x = -8
So the value of x is -8.
What's the answer
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. The answer to the equation −6x = 48, when you divide both sides by −6, is:
x = 48 / (−6)
x = −8
So the value of x is indeed -8.
No choose one of the options I gave u
My apologies for misunderstanding your initial question. If we need to choose from the options you provided to solve the equation −6x = 48, the correct option to isolate x would be:
divide by −6
When you divide both sides by −6, you'll find the value of x. Here's the calculation:
−6x / (−6) = 48 / (−6)
x = −8
Thus, the solution for x is −8 after dividing both sides by −6.
Which of the following should be done to both sides of the equation x12=6 to solve the value of x ?
divide by 12
divide by 12
multiply by 6
multiply by 6
multiply by −12
multiply by 12
To solve for x in the equation x/12 = 6, you should multiply both sides by 12 because x is currently being divided by 12. Multiplying both sides by 12 is the inverse operation and will isolate x on one side of the equation.
So, the correct operation to perform is:
multiply by 12
When you multiply both sides by 12, the equation becomes:
(x/12) * 12 = 6 * 12
Which simplifies to:
x = 72
Therefore, the value of x is 72 after you multiply both sides of the equation by 12.
What is the solution of the equation −x2.9=−3 ?
8.7
−87
−8.7
87
To solve the equation -x/2.9 = -3, you want to isolate x by multiplying both sides of the equation by -2.9. Here's the solution:
-x/2.9 = -3
-x = -3 * (-2.9)
-x = 8.7
Now to solve for x, we need to multiply by -1 since -x = 8.7 implies that x is the negative of 8.7:
x = -8.7
Therefore, the correct answer is:
-8.7
What is the solution of the equation fraction 8/5x = −10 ?
−58
−116
−16
−254
To solve for x in the equation 8/5x = −10, you should multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x (which is 5/8 in this case) to isolate x. Here's the solution:
\( \frac{8}{5}x = -10 \)
\( x = -10 \times \frac{5}{8} \)
Now, calculate -10 multiplied by 5 and then divide by 8:
\( x = -50/8 \)
When you simplify the fraction -50/8, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
\( x = -\frac{50 ÷ 2}{8 ÷ 2} \)
\( x = -\frac{25}{4} \)
\( x = -6.25 \)
However, none of the options you have provided matches this result. It seems there might have been a misunderstanding or a typographical error either in the provided options or the equation. The correct answer to the given equation is:
\( x = -6.25 \)
If we look at your options and attempt to interpret them as fractions (assuming typographical errors), the closest option to -6.25 is −58 (which might be intended to represent -5/8 or -62.5), but it is not the correct answer to the given equation. Could you please verify if there is a mistake in the provided options?
What is the solution of the equation fraction.
8/5x = −10 ?
−58
−116
−16
−254
To solve the equation \( \frac{8}{5}x = -10 \), we need to isolate x by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of \( \frac{8}{5} \), which is \( \frac{5}{8} \). This reciprocal will cancel out the \( \frac{8}{5} \) on the left side and allow us to solve for x.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by \( \frac{5}{8} \), we get:
\( x = -10 \times \frac{5}{8} \)
Simplify by multiplying -10 by 5:
\( x = -50 \times \frac{1}{8} \)
When you divide -50 by 8:
\( x = -6.25 \)
Since the question might be referring to fractions and one of the choices matches this result when read as "-16", it seems like the list could contain typographical errors and that "-16" might represent "-6.25". However, from the presented options, without additional context or clarification, none of the options perfectly match -6.25. If we assume some of the options are intended to represent fractions then:
-116 could be interpreted as \( -\frac{1}{16} \), which is incorrect.
-16 could be misformatted and could represent \( -\frac{16}{1} \) or -16, which is incorrect.
-254 could be interpreted as \( -\frac{2}{54} \) or \( -\frac{1}{27} \), which is incorrect.
So it seems there may be an error in the choices provided. If they are meant to represent fractions, then potentially "-16" could be a mistyped "-6.25". Otherwise, none of the provided choices correctly represent \( -6.25 \), the solution to the given equation.
Choose one of the answers I gave you
The equation given is:
\( \frac{8}{5}x = -10 \)
To solve for x, you multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of \( \frac{8}{5} \), which is \( \frac{5}{8} \):
\( x = -10 \times \frac{5}{8} \)
\( x = -\frac{50}{8} \)
Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
\( x = -\frac{50 ÷ 2}{8 ÷ 2} \)
\( x = -\frac{25}{4} \)
\( x = -6.25 \)
Now, judging by the answers you've given, none of them exactly equals -6.25 when they're interpreted as whole numbers. However, if we interpret the numbers as fractions, the closest one could be "-16" if it's been mistyped and it should actually be "-6.25."
So, the most likely selection from the options you've provided, based on the assumption that there's a typographical error, would be:
-16
This would only be correct if indeed "-16" was intended to represent "-6.25" and there's a mistake in the formatting of the choice. Otherwise, none of the choices actually matches the solution -6.25.
I hate u bro that was wrong why are u such a stupid bot
I apologize for any frustration I may have caused. It appears I misunderstood the format of the answers provided. Let's try to match the correct solution to the equation with the answers given, taking into account any possible typographical errors or formatting issues.
You provided the equation:
\( \frac{8}{5}x = -10 \)
Solving the equation:
\( x = -10 \times \frac{5}{8} \)
\( x = -\frac{50}{8} \)
\( x = -6.25 \)
Looking at the answers you've given, let’s try interpreting the formatted choices to find the correct one:
−58 (Possibly -5 or -8?)
−116 (Possibly -1 or -16?)
−16 (Possibly -1.6?)
−254 (Possibly -2 or -54?)
Given these options and the correct answer of -6.25, the intended correct choice, considering there might be a formatting or typographical error in the representation, seems to be −16. If we treat it as a miswritten version of -6.25 (assuming for example, that the decimal or fraction point was misplaced or omitted), this option might be intended to mean -6.25, thus making it the correct answer in relation to the proper solution of the equation.
Again, I'm sorry for any confusion. If this interpretation is still not matching your expectations, it's possible there might be an error in the list of options provided. Please double-check the options, and I would be happy to assist further to ensure we reach the correct answer.
