5/8x is the same as 10/16x
That should help
my final answer would be
7/27 do i have it right
As Mr. L pointed out, you have to add the two terms on the left-hand side (LHS):
5/8x + 1/16x=7/16
(10/16)x + (1/16)x = 7/16
10x + x = 7
11x = 7
I will leave it to you to complete the calculations.
so my answer would be
-4 because you 11x=7-11=-4
If we start from
11x=7
we divide each side by 11 to get
(11/11)x = 7/11
x=7/11
So x=7/11 would be the correct answer.
To solve the equation 5/8x + 1/16x = 7/16, you need to combine the like terms on the left side of the equation. To do this, you need to find a common denominator for 8 and 16, which is 16.
Since the denominator of the first term is 8, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2 to make it have a denominator of 16: (5/8) * (2/2) = 10/16x.
The equation then becomes 10/16x + 1/16x = 7/16.
Now, you can combine the like terms on the left side by adding the numerators of the fractions: (10/16x + 1/16x) = (10 + 1)/16x = 11/16x.
The equation is now 11/16x = 7/16.
To isolate the variable x, you need to get rid of the fraction. You can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 11/16, which is 16/11.
Multiplying both sides by 16/11 gives you: (16/11) * (11/16x) = (16/11) * (7/16).
On the left side of the equation, the 11 in the numerator and the denominator cancel out, leaving you with just x: x = (16/11) * (7/16).
On the right side of the equation, the 16 in the numerator and the denominator cancel out, leaving you with 7/11.
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 7/11.
