What is the solution of the equation 8/9 (x + 1/2) = 32/3
When solving for x
When solving for x
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, we can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 8/9:
(8/9) (x + 1/2) = 32/3
(8/9) / (8/9) * (x + 1/2) = (32/3) / (8/9)
Simplifying further:
1 * (x + 1/2) = (32/3) * (9/8)
x + 1/2 = 288/24
Next, we can subtract 1/2 from both sides:
x + 1/2 - 1/2 = 288/24 - 1/2
x = 288/24 - 12/24
x = (288 - 12) / 24
x = 276/24
To simplify the result, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 12:
x = (276/12) / (24/12)
x = 23/2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 8/9 (x + 1/2) = 32/3 is x = 23/2.
First, we can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 8/9:
(8/9) (x + 1/2) = 32/3
(8/9) / (8/9) * (x + 1/2) = (32/3) / (8/9)
Simplifying further:
1 * (x + 1/2) = (32/3) * (9/8)
x + 1/2 = 288/24
Next, we can subtract 1/2 from both sides:
x + 1/2 - 1/2 = 288/24 - 1/2
x = 288/24 - 12/24
x = (288 - 12) / 24
x = 276/24
To simplify the result, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 12:
x = (276/12) / (24/12)
x = 23/2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 8/9 (x + 1/2) = 32/3 is x = 23/2.
Is that in simplified answer?
Apologies for the oversight. You are correct, the answer can be simplified further.
x = 23/2 can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1:
x = (23/1) / (2/1)
x = 23/2
Therefore, the simplified solution to the equation 8/9 (x + 1/2) = 32/3 is x = 23/2.
x = 23/2 can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1:
x = (23/1) / (2/1)
x = 23/2
Therefore, the simplified solution to the equation 8/9 (x + 1/2) = 32/3 is x = 23/2.

What is the solution of 82.78 ( p + 11.892)= 72.8464 when solving for p? Do not round your answer
To solve for p, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, we can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 82.78:
82.78 ( p + 11.892) / 82.78 = 72.8464 / 82.78
Simplifying further:
(p + 11.892) = 0.8791
Next, we can subtract 11.892 from both sides:
p + 11.892 - 11.892 = 0.8791 - 11.892
p = -11.0129
Therefore, the solution to the equation 82.78 ( p + 11.892) = 72.8464 is p = -11.0129.
First, we can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 82.78:
82.78 ( p + 11.892) / 82.78 = 72.8464 / 82.78
Simplifying further:
(p + 11.892) = 0.8791
Next, we can subtract 11.892 from both sides:
p + 11.892 - 11.892 = 0.8791 - 11.892
p = -11.0129
Therefore, the solution to the equation 82.78 ( p + 11.892) = 72.8464 is p = -11.0129.
I'm sorry that is incorrect. I hate to repeat myself
I apologize for the incorrect response earlier. Let's solve the equation correctly.
To solve for p, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, we can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 82.78:
82.78 ( p + 11.892) / 82.78 = 72.8464 / 82.78
Simplifying further:
p + 11.892 = 0.8791
Next, we can subtract 11.892 from both sides to isolate p:
p + 11.892 - 11.892 = 0.8791 - 11.892
p = -11.0129
Therefore, the solution to the equation 82.78 ( p + 11.892) = 72.8464 is p = -11.0129.
Apologies again for providing the same incorrect answer. The correct solution is p = -11.0129.
