Answer:

X = 21/4 - 7/4 = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3 and 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

X + (2 and 1/2) - 3/4 = 5 and 1/4

X + 2 and 2/4  - 3/4 = 5 and 1/4  <--- common denominator

X + 10/4 - 3/4 = 21/4

X + 7/4 = 21/4

X = 21/4 - 7/4 = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3 and 1/2

Andru [333]
In order to reach the total cost of $128, you need to find the number of hours the company cleaned. The equation to do so would be
 
  30x+ 8 = 128

If you subtract 8 from both sides and then divide by 30 you'll find that x=4.
