Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Is it possible for Bruce and Felicia to have used the same number of tiles? Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.
No
5x + 2 ≠ 5x + 5
because
2 ≠ 5
If they each used the same number of tiles, how many tiles were in each box?
6x + 2 = 5x + 17
6x - 5x + 2 - 2 = 5x - 5x + 17 - 2
x = 15 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5+2/4 (find common denominator)
The common denominator is 20
2/5 is 8/20 (multiply by 4)
2/4 is 10/20 (multiply by 5)
8/20+10/20 is 18/20
If you simplify 18/20 this would by 9/10 if you divide by 2
so the total is 18/20 or 9/10 simplified
Hope this helps!!!!
