Yes...thats what u want to do. you want to get the x terms on one side and everything else on the other side.
8x = 7x + 3....so we will subtract 7x from both sides
8x - 7x = 7x - 7x + 3....simplify
1x, or just x = 3 (because ur 7x's cancelled each other out)
so ur answer is : x = 3
and u can check ur answer by subbing it back into the original equation.
8x = 7x + 3
8(3) = 7(3) + 3
24 = 21 + 3
24 = 24 (correct)
The common denominator of both fractions is 60.. You can convert 11/12 into 55/60 by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 5, and you can also convert 7/20 into 21/60 by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 3. 55/60-21/60= 34/60, simplified to 17/30.
Hope it helped!
Umm I’m pretty sure it is 9.5
Answer: 108
Step-by-step explanation: The 40% percent taken away from $270 would be $108, because I round it to 50% percent off and that would $135 but since it's 40% off not 50% so I took away 10% from $135, and that's how I found my answer .
