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

3/4 + -3/8 + -1/4=?<br> Evaluate the expression
Ann [662]

Answer: -1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 + -3/8 + -1/4

Find the LCM of 4, 8, and 4

That's 8 so you make an equivalent fraction for all fractions so the denominator is 8.

3/4 = 6/8

-3/8 = -3/8

-1/4 = -4/8

Now the expression looks like this:

6/8 + - 3/8 + -4/8

6/8 - 3/8 - 4/8

6/8 - 7/8

-1/8

Hope that helped!
