What would you use to solve the equation 12.7 = j-3.4

By the Addition Principle of Equality, I would add 3.4 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term -3.4 on the right-hand side.

12.7 + 3.4 = j - 3.4 + 3.4
16.1 = j

So, j is equal to 16.1.

12.7 = j - 3.4

We're simply just trying to get j by itself.

So, add 3.4 to both sides.

12.7 + 3.4 = j

Simplify.

16.1 = j

So, j = 15.1

Harold and Millicent are getting married and need to combine their already-full libraries. If Harold, who has 1/2 as many books

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of books that Millicent has. So the number of books that Harold has is x/2. And the number of book that Harold is bringing to the new home is (x/2)/3 = x/6.

The home has enough room for another half of Millicent's books, which is x/2. So the total books capacity of the new home is

$\frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x}{6} + \frac{3x}{6} = \frac{4x}{6} = \frac{2x}{3}$

Since x is also the number of books in Millicent's old library capacity, we can conclude that the fraction of Millicent's old library capacity to the new home's library capacity is 2/3, or 2 thirds
