The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6
Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.
5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6
Then, simplify
65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100
Answer:
The first step would be to look at the first two numbers (which is 27) and estimate which <u>multiple</u> of 5 is closest and <u>below</u> 27.
5*5 = 25
So once she got 25, she will need to subtract 27-25, which will give her 2. REMEMBER: 5 is the first number of the quotient.
Now, she will need to drag the last digit left of 275 (which is 5) to the remainder 2 and think what multiple of 5 will give her the answer 25.
Again, 5*5 = 25
Once again, her numbers on the quotient will be 55. That's the answer.
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: :"<span>18/83." </span><span>First we need to know the total number of customers, so we should add 54+42+153, which equals 249. </span><span>Now we know that last week, 54 out of 249 total customers paid with cash. </span><span>As a fraction, 54/249 reduces to 18/83. </span>
Answer:
1,065
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 213 by 5 to get your final answer.
