Answer:
37/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the denomenators must be consistent, both 8 and 12 have the common factor of 24.
the denominator of 8 must be multiplied by 3 to get to 24, but to multiply the denominator you must multiply the numerator by 3 which gives you
15/24
the denominator of 12 must be multiplied by 2 to get 24, so you must multiply 11 by 2 as well to get
22/24
add them together to get 37/24
It's just an equation, the number you're looking for is X, and then turn the words into an solvable equation with respect to X.
7X + 3 = 39 - 2X
9X = 39 -3 = 36
X = 4
Answer:
y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
{y = x/2 - 4
y = 1 - 2 x
Substitute y = x/2 - 4 into the second equation:
{y = x/2 - 4
x/2 - 4 = 1 - 2 x
In the second equation, look to solve for x:
{y = x/2 - 4
x/2 - 4 = 1 - 2 x
Add 2 x + 4 to both sides:
{y = x/2 - 4
(5 x)/2 = 5
Multiply both sides by 2/5:
{y = x/2 - 4
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into the first equation:
{y = -3
x = 2
