means x < 7 and x > -7
answer is -7 < x < 7
Answer:
less than 1 1/2 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2, so the sum of the three cans is more than 1 by the difference between 1/5 and 1/6. That difference is 1/30 gallon. The sum is 1 1/30 gallons, which is less than 1 1/2 gallons.

A suitable common denominator is 2·3·5 = 30. Then the sum of the fractions is ...
1/3 + 1/5 + 1/2
= 10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30
= 31/30 = 1 1/30 . . . . . less than 1 1/2
In decimal, 1/3 ≈ 0.333, 1/5 = 0.200, 1/2 = 0.500, so the sum is ...
0.333 +0.200 +0.500 = 1.033
which is less than 1.5.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to make the division of the fractions 
and
. To do this, you can flip the fraction over and multiply the numerators and the denominators of the fractions. Then:
Reduce the fraction 
:
Now you can make the subtraction: in this case the Least Common Denominator (LCD) will be the multiplication of the denominators. Divide each denominator by the LCD and multiply this quotient by the corresponding numerator and then subtract the products. Therefore you get:
