Find the sum using fraction bars or a paper and pencil. Write your answer in simplest form.1/2 + 7/8
Answers
First find the LCD. That is 8.
1/2 = 4/8
7/8 + 4/8 = 11/8 or 1 3/8
Answer:1 3/8

How would you figure this out?

I'm afraid that this is a weak attempt at your math teachers trying to teach you variables. Pretend that each shape is the letter x. Let's solve the first one together. 2x-1=5. To find what x=, you need to work backwards. Instead of subtracting one, add one. 5+1 is 6. Now you have 2x=6. Since x is being multiplied by 2, you need to divide 6 by 2. 6/2 is 3. x=3. For the next one, we know that the triangle, or x, is 3. Again, let's make a different letter for the square. Let's make the square be y. Now your problem is 3 + y = 1. Once again, let's reverse our thinking to solve for what y=. 1-3 is -2. y=-2.See how that works? Now we need to Solve for the last one. The triangle, which we named x and is 3, and the square, which we named y and is -2, can be plugged into the final equation. 3-2(-2)=z. -2 * -2 is 4, and 3 + 4 is 7. Your final answer is 7.
PLEASE Find the equation of the line............................perpendicular to the line y= 5x -1 and passes through the points (10,8)

Since it's perpendicular to the line with the slope 5, you take the reciprocal of 5 which is 1/5 and change the sign: -1/5. So you have the equation: y=-(1/5)+b. To find b you substitute x and y for the coordinate (10,8). y=(-1/5)x+b 8=(-1/5)10+b 8=(-10/5)+b 8=-2+b +2 +2 10=b
