What is 5/8 of 36
im confused :)

 22 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

since 36 is a WHOLE number think of it as a fraction like

So we do multiplied by , so 5x36= 180 and 8x1= 8

now we have:

NOW find the GFC, and the GCF of 180 and 8 is 4.

so we divide the fraction 180/8 by 4 so 180/4=45

8/4=2

45/2 can be simplied to 22

answer: x=3 and y=4

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
