In an experiment , the temperature of a solution is -5/8 degrees. The temperature drops 1 1/2 degrees. What is the temperature after the drop?

- 2 1/8 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial temperature of a solution = -5/8 degrees

Amount drop = 1 1/2 degrees

Temperature after the drop = -5/8 - 1 1/2

Temperature after the drop = -5/8 - 3/2

Temperature after the drop = -5-12/8

Temperature after the drop = -17/8

Hence the temperature after the drop is - 2 1/8 degrees

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
