the sum of a negative number, 1/4 of the negative number, and 7/16 of the negative number is -13 1/2. what is the negative number. ok now how do u solve that and what is the answer?

Sagot :

k so ur gonna hav x + 1/4x + 7/16x =-13 1/2. Start with that then you need to add the lil terms together. Thats x, 4/16 x (so it can be added easier) and 7/16 x added together. So you get 1 11/16x = -13 1/2. Use a calculator for that and you get x = -19.63636364

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

According to question,

(-x) + (-x)(1/4) + (-x)(7/16) = -13 1/2

-x - x/4 -7x/16 = -27/2

Now, make all denominators equal:

(-16x -4x - 7x)/16 = -27/2

Now, multiply both sides with 16 to get rid of denominator:

-16x - 4x - 7x = -216

-27x = -216

-x = -216/27

= -8

Sorry for delay
