You can set it up like this:

x + (3x - 5) = 119

Add 5 to both sides:

x + 3x = 124

Combine like terms:

4x = 124

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 31

So, one number is 31, and since the other is 5 less than three times that number, it's 31(3) - 5 = 88. To check, add the two (31 and 88) together, and sure enough, the answer is 119!

Hope this helped!! xx

Carla drops a carton of eggs. out of 12 eggs, 7 eggs are cracked. as a decimal, what fraction of the eggs are not cracked? [roun
anyanavicka [17]
There are 5 eggs which remained. In a fraction, the eggs which are not cracked is expressed as 5/12. Converting it to decimals, the answer is 0.4166667. Since the answer only requires 2 decimal places, the number has to be rounded off to the hundredths place. Since 6 is more than 5, the value of the hundredths place is added by 1. Hence the final answer is 0.42.

Shiva works on a 4 hour shift. After 6/5 hours, she takes a break. How much of the work shift does she have left?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: 3 hours and 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First , you convert your fraction to a decimal.

6/5 = 1.2

Second , you subtract 4 minus 1.2 to see how much of the work shift does she have left ( since 1.2 hours is what she worked).

4 - 1.2 =  2.8 = 2 hours and 80 minutes (60 minutes is an hour) = 3 hours and 20 minutes
