Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So basically what you want to do is start with the distributive property.
-0.5(x+0.3) = 1.6x+0.9(x+4.8) would then equal -0.5x-0.15 = 1.6x+0.9x+4.32.
Then, add the matching terms on the right side (the x values) 1.6x+0.9x =2.5x
Your equation should the look like -0.5x-0.15 = 2.5x+4.32.
Next, add -0.5x to 2.5x giving you 3x
The equation will look like -0.15 = 3x+4.32
After that subtract 4.32 from -0.15 leaving you with -4.47=3x
Divide 3x from both sides
Your answer should be x= -1.49.
I hope this was helpful and not super confusing! Also if anything is incorrect let me know! :)
30(x) - 65 = 565, X represents the amount of paychecks he has to cash in and the -65 is the money he has to pay back first.
Answer:
8 9.8 - 6.4n
9 15 - j/2
Step-by-step explanation:
8
2.8 - 4.4n - 2n +7
= 2.8+7 -4.4n -2n
= 9.8 - 6.4n
9
11 + (-3) - 1/8 j - 3/8 j +7
= 11 - 3 - 1/8 j - 3/8 j + 7
= 11 - 3 + 7 - 1/8 j - 3/8 j
= 15 - 4/8 j
= 15 - j/2
Well this is easier to look at when you turn them into decimals.
3/4 = 0.75
and..
4/5 = 0.8
0.8 is bigger than 0.75
So this means..
4/5 is bigger!!
Good Luck! :)
