To solve this equation, lets move all of the variables to one side of the equation and the constants to the other.
0.12x - 1.5 = 0.24x - 0.06
Subtract 0.12x from both sides of the equation
-1.5 = 0.12x - 0.06
Add 0.06 to both sides of the equation
-1.44 = 0.12x
Divide both sides by 0.12 to isolate x
x = -12
Add 3 1/2 and 2 1/3,
Firstly, find the common denominator. It is is 6
3 3/6 + 2 2/6
this gets you 5 5/6.
Take this away from 8:
8 - 5 5/6 = 2 1/6
So 2 1/6 of the board is left over.
On question 9, x = 0.46284330
