The answer is x=4.
set the equations up: 8x-5=6x-3
Subtract 6x from one side and then the other side 2x-5=3
Add 5 from one side and then the other 2x=8
Divide 2 on each side which gets you x=4
Answer: the variable is p=6 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable
Answer:
67/5 = 13 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: <u>Define/explain.</u>
An easier way to solve this is by changing the mixed fractions to improper fractions.
To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the product to the numerator; the denominator remains the same.
Mixed fraction - a fraction with a whole number.
Improper fraction - a fraction with a numerator larger than the denominator.
Step 2: <u>Solve.</u>


From here, add as usual.

Step 3: <u>Conclude.</u>
You can change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction if you'd like.
To do this, divide the numerator by the denominator.
The amount of times the numerator evenly goes into the denominator is the whole number.
The amount of remaining numbers in the denominator.
The numerator remains the same.

I, therefore, believe the answer to this is 13 2/5.
I added 40 and 120 to get 160. i devided 160 by the 6.25 she earned and got 25.6. then i rounded up to 26 hours which is the least amount of hours she could’ve worked.
