In the equation 0.75 - 5/8s = 44, how do you combine the like terms?

s = 71.6

0.75 - 5/8s = 44

3/4 - 5/8s = 44

3/4 - 3/4 + 5/8s = 44 + 3/4

5/8s = 44 3/4

5/8s / 5/8 = 44 3/4 / 5/8

s= (179/4 / 5/8)

s= (179/4 * 8/5)

s= (179/1 * 2/5)

s= (358/5)

s= (350/5 + 8/5)

s= (70 + 8/5)

s= (70 + 1 + 3/5)

s= 71 3/5

s= 71.6

I checked this and its correct :P Sorry about the late answer, hope this helps!

can i get the link to the assignment?

step-by-step explanation:

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
