Answer:
x=2.17
Step-by-step explanation:
14.88+x=17.05
We move all terms to the left:
14.88+x-(17.05)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
x-2.17=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
x=2.17
Answer:
7/100
Step-by-step explanation:
The zero is in the ones place.
Each place you move to the right is worth 1/10 of the previous place.
The 8 is in the tenths place.
The 7 is in the hundredths place.
The 7 is worth 7 × 1/100 = 7/100.
Answer: 7/100
It is often easiest to use "military time". That is, add 12 to all the afternoon numbers and do the subtraction in the usual way. Of course, 1 hour = 60 minutes, so 10 minutes = 10/60 hour = 1/6 hour.
Mon: 15:10 -8:00 = 7:10 = 7 1/6
Tue: 15:25 -8:05 = 7:20 = 7 1/3
Wed: 14:30 -8:00 = 6:30 = 6 1/2
Thur: 14:45 -7:55 = 7:(-10) = 6:50 = 6 5/6
Fri: 15:38 -7:58 = 8:(-20) = 7:40 = 7 2/3

Some calculators have nice features for working with degrees, minutes, and seconds. In this context, degrees and hours are the same thing. That is, the base-60 arithmetic is the same whether you consider the numbers to be hours or degrees. Similarly, some calculators convert nicely between decimal fractions and mixed numbers. In short, a suitable calculator will almost do this math for you. (You just need to add 12 to all the numbers in the column on the right.)
3x - y = 6 ------------ (1)
y = x - 4 ------------ (2)
From (1) + (2) :
( 3x - y) + y = 6 + (x - 4)
3x - y + y = 6 + x - 4
3x = x + 2
2x = 2
x = 1 ------------- Sub into (2)
y = x - 4
y = 1 - 4
y = -3
Answer: x = 1, y = -3
