All you have to do is move the denominator on the other side, by multiplying.
a-10
------- = -9
20
multiply 20 x -9
= -180
then it becomes a-10=-180
+10 +10
a=-170
Real numbers and rational numbers
Answer:125.666
Step-by-step explanation:
5*7/8 = 4 3/8
5/1 * 7/8 = 35/8
convert into mixed number because numerator is bigger than the denominator so it it
4 3/8
Let x be your first alloy
2/5x+7/10(30-x)=1/2(30)
4x+210-7x=150
3x=60
x=20
So, you need 20 lbs of the first alloy, and 10 parts of the second to make 30 lbs of half iron and half silver alloy!
