Answer:
i believe it would be the last option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Your equation would be 2x - 12 + 3x - 15 = 23
Combine like terms and solve for x
Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)
[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month.
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11
No he walks 7/10 of a mile
you have to make 2/5 have a common denominator with 3/10
so 2×2=4 (numerator)
2×5=10 (denominator)
4/10+3/10= 7/10
since you only add the numerator because the denominator makes it a like term
