First off we change the mixed numbers into an improper fraction. 
This is how we do it 
denominator x whole number + numerator. 
9 x 3 + 5 = 32/9 
8 x 1 + 7 = 15/8 
Now we can multiply. 
15 x 32 = 480 
8 x 7 = 56 
480/56 
Since this is an improper fraction we have to change it to a mixed number
This is how we do it
numerator ÷ denominator 
480 ÷ 56 = 8 32/56 
8 32/56 simplified = 8 4/7 
The answer is 8 4/7  

I hope this helps!

40/9.   you have to simply it and make it an inproper fraction so it would be 224/63 - 504/63 which simplifies to 40/9.

Answer:

  • $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price is x.

<u>Set the equation and solve for x:</u>

  • (x + 5%) + 15 = 141
  • 1.05x + 15 = 141
  • 1.05x = 126
  • x = 126/1.05
  • x = 120

The square of a positive number is 24 more than 5 times a number. What is the value of the number?
satela [25.4K]
First, let's construct an algebraic equation to formally find the answer:

Let x represent (the value of) the unknown number. 

x²= 5x + 24 --- This equation shows that the (positive) number's square equals 24 more than 5 times the number.

Now we can solve for x (the number):

                 x² = 5x + 24
  x² - 5x - 24 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 8) = 0
                   x =  -3, 8

Therefore, this means that x (the number ) can be either -3 OR 8. Both will satisfy the description.
Hope this helps!
