-24 divided by -1/8p=3/8p

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a bit of a fudge, but multiplying the -1/8 by itself 8 times, for an answer of -24. In other words, the problem is re-written as  

-24*-1*-1*-1...= 24p. The last multiplication cancels out with the first one since they have inverse signs and multiply to give a result of -12p or 12p if you're working in base 10 math.

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
