Question

5.5(x+6 1/2)-(x+9 1/3)-(19-x)

Answer 1

The simplified form of the expression [5.5(x+6 1/2)-(x+9 1/3)-(19-x)] is 11x/2 + 89/12

What is the simplified form of the expression

Given the expression;

5.5(x+6 1/2) - (x+9 1/3) - (19-x)

First, we convert 6 1/2, 9 1/3 and 5.5 to an improper fraction

6 1/2 = 13/2, 9 1/3 = 28/3 and 5.5 = 11/2

So, we have

(11/2)( x + 13/2 ) - ( x + 28/3 ) - ( 19 - x )

Next, we remove the parentheses

11x/2 + 143/4 - x - 28/3 - 19 + x

11x/2 + 143/4 - 28/3 - 19

11x/2 + 317/12 - 19

11x/2 + 89/12

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression [5.5(x+6 1/2)-(x+9 1/3)-(19-x)] is 11x/2 + 89/12.
