I think the answer is 52% because I got it correct on i-Ready. I really hope this helps because I hate that when you fail you have to redo a lesson.
Have a great day and let me know if this is the right answer.
Cross-multiply so that 8(3x + 1) = 14(2x)
Distribute the 8 and 14 into the parentheses:
24x + 8 = 28x
Subtract 24x from both sides:
8 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 2
I think the answer would be 4n
Hey there!
The answer is no because whenever you add or subtract fractions, you find the common denominator(the bottom of the fraction)
Corret way:
The common denominator is 15 (5*3)
Multiply numerator(top) and the denominator by 3
4/5*3*3= 12/15
Multiply numerator and the denominator by 5
1/3*5/5= 5/15
So the equation is now
12/15+5/15= 17/15 or 1 2/15
Hope this helps! :)
