Can anyone help me to solve this please:
1) m/16 - 9 = -8
2) -9 + n/4 = -7
3) p/4 + 8 = 7
4) b + 11/3 = -2
1) m/16 - 9 = -8
Add 9 to both sides.
m/16 = 1
Multiply both sides by 16.
m = 16
Solve the others the same way.
2) n =2
3) p= -4
4) b = -17
Thank you so much Ms. Sue
2) n = 8
They are all right except for 4.
b + 11/3 = -2
b = -2 = 11/3
b = -17/3
b = 5 2/3
b + 11/3 = -2
b = -2 - 11/3
b = -17/3
b = 5 2/3
Sure! I'd be happy to help you solve these equations. Let's go through each one step by step:
1) To solve the equation m/16 - 9 = -8, the goal is to isolate the variable m.
- Start by adding 9 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the -9 on the left side: m/16 = 1.
- To isolate m, multiply both sides of the equation by 16 to get rid of the fraction: 16 * (m/16) = 16 * 1.
- Simplifying further, we have m = 16.
2) In the equation -9 + n/4 = -7, the variable n needs to be isolated.
- Begin by adding 9 to both sides of the equation: -9 + 9 + n/4 = -7 + 9.
- Simplifying, we have n/4 = 2.
- To get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 4: 4 * (n/4) = 4 * 2.
- The result is n = 8.
3) The equation p/4 + 8 = 7 needs to be solved for the variable p.
- Start by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation: p/4 + 8 - 8 = 7 - 8.
- Simplifying, we have p/4 = -1.
- To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 4: 4 * (p/4) = 4 * (-1).
- The answer is p = -4.
4) Finally, let's solve b + 11/3 = -2 for the variable b.
- Subtract 11/3 from both sides of the equation: b + 11/3 - 11/3 = -2 - 11/3.
- The sum on the left side simplifies to b. On the right side, we get -2 - 11/3 = -6/3 - 11/3 = -17/3.
- Therefore, the solution is b = -17/3.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
