s=1/23

given equation in term of s is 12+3/2s-1/2-3/4s=5/4s

to solve this first we need to take LCM on left hand side and right hand side                                                                                                                                      we can rewrite given equation as 12/1+3/2s-1/2-3/4s=5/4s                                                    now taking LCM of {1,2s,2,4s,4s} is 4s                                                                                  then the equation becomes                                                                                                              48s/4s+6/4s-2s/4s-3/4s=5/4s

(48s+6-2s-3) /4s=5/4s                                                                                                                      now cancel out denominator of both side                                                                                   we get     48s+6-2s-3=5                                                                                                                      this implies 46s+3=5

                 46s=2

                     s=1/23

Hence the value of s is 1/23

Quinzel and Joseph sell shoes. Last month Quinzel sold 18 less pairs
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Quinzel sold 17 pairs of shoes last month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "Q" the number of pairs of shoes Quinzel sold last month and "J" the number of pairs of shoes Joseph sold last month.

Set up a system of equations:

\left \{ {{Q=J-18} \atop {Q+J=52} \right.

Solve for "J" from the first equation:

J=Q+18

Applying the Substitution Method, you get:

Q+J=52\\\\Q+(Q+18)=52\\\\2Q=52-18\\\\Q=\frac{34}{2} \\\\Q=17
