Step-by-step explanation:
A) 3x + 8 = 23
3x = 23 - 8
3x = 15
x = 15 / 3 = 5
B) 5x + 1 = 3x + 17
5x - 3x = 17 - 1
2x = 16
x = 16 /2 = 8
C) 4 (x+2) = 32
4x + 8 = 32
4x = 32 - 8
4x = 24
x = 24 / 4 = 6
Fraction strips are rectangular pieces (electronic or copied on paper strips) to represent different parts of the same whole. They can be cut apart and manipulated to see how various parts can be added together to make the whole or compare different fractional amounts for equivalency
That would be -0.041
-0.125/3 = -0.041666666
This is the same as averaging. You add them and divide by 2.
((m/n) + (p/q))/2 would be a number in between m/n and p/q.
Do note that n and q must be nonzero, but luckily that is a given.
