An easy way for me to do this is to either make all of the fractions into decimals or all the decimals into fractions, whatever you prefer. I prefer fractions, but for typing reasons I’m going to make them all decimals. Making 5/48 into a decimal you divide 5 by 48 and get 0.104... and divide 3 by 16 and get 0.1875. Then from there, look at whatever tenths place number is the least (the number after the decimal). Two of them have one, so moving onto the next number, 8>0, which means 0.104 is less then 0.1875. Then 5<7. So from least to greatest, 5/48 (0.104), 3/16 (0.1875), 0.5, 0.75.
Good Luck!
Solve for x in 2nd equation
times -1 both sides
x-5=6y
add 5
x=6y+5
sub
5(6y+5)+4y=-26
30y+25+4y=-26
34y+25=-26
minus 25 both sides
34y=-51
divide both sides by 34
y=-3/2
sub back
x=6y+5
x=6(-3/2)+5
x=-18/2+5
x=-9+5
x=-4
(-4,-3/2) is solution

Answer:
6 times the sum of a number and 12 is 114. The number is 17
Step-by-step explanation:
6 x 17 + 12= 114
Answer:
x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(5 x)/2 = 25/4
Hint: | Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Multiply both sides of (5 x)/2 = 25/4 by 2/5:
(2×5 x)/(5×2) = 2/5×25/4
Hint: | Express 2/5×5/2 as a single fraction.
2/5×5/2 = (2×5)/(5×2):
(2×5)/(5×2) x = 2/5×25/4
Hint: | Express 2/5×25/4 as a single fraction.
2/5×25/4 = (2×25)/(5×4):
(2×5 x)/(5×2) = (2×25)/(5×4)
Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (2×5 x)/(5×2).
(2×5 x)/(5×2) = (5×2)/(5×2)×x = x:
x = (2×25)/(5×4)
Hint: | In (2×25)/(5×4), divide 25 in the numerator by 5 in the denominator.
25/5 = (5×5)/5 = 5:
x = (2×5)/4
Hint: | In (2×5)/4, divide 4 in the denominator by 2 in the numerator.
2/4 = 2/(2×2) = 1/2:
Answer: x = 5/2
