$x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 96 \\ 3x + 6 = 96 \\ 3x = 90 \\ x = 30$

The three numbers are 31, 32, and 33 (add them up and you get 96). The smallest number is 31.

Explain the steps needed to determine the value of the expression shown below be sure to provide the correct value of the expres

inn [45]

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the complete question is shown.

The expression is:

$\frac{ \frac{1}{2} }{ \frac{-2}{5}} + \frac{-1}{4}$

You can rewrite the first term, expressing the division as a multiplication, that is, inverting the fraction in the denominator, as follows:

$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{-5}{2}+ \frac{-1}{4}$

$\frac{-5}{4} + \frac{-1}{4}$

The addition of a negative fraction is simply the subtraction by that fraction:

$\frac{-5}{4} - \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{-5 - 1}{4}$

$\frac{-6}{4}$

Which can be simplified dividing by two both numerator and denominator:

$\frac{-3}{2}$

Best explained and correct answer gets brainliest!

It would be C, because a straight line equals to 180 degrees, and since 3 is 86, and lines m and n are parallel, 180-86 = C.94. Hope this helps!

What are the steps to solve for: 1/5(x+5)=1/4(x-3)+1

andrew11 [14]

Step 1. Simplify $\frac{1}{5} (x+5)$ to $\frac{x+5}{5}$

$\frac{x+5}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1$

Step 2. Simplify $\frac{x+5}{5}$ to $1+ \frac{x}{5}$

$1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{1}{4} (x-3)+1$

Step 3. Simplify $\frac{1}{4} (x-3)$ to $\frac{x-3}{4}$

$1+ \frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4} +1$

Step 4. Cancel $1$ on both sides

$\frac{x}{5} = \frac{x-3}{4}$

Step 5. Multiply both sides by $20$ (the LCM of $5,4$ )

$4x=5(x-3)$

Step 6. Expand

$4x=5x-15$

Step 7. Subtract $5x$ from both sides

$4x-5x=-15$

Step 8. Simplify $4x-5x$ to $-x$

$-x=-15$

Step 9. Multiply both sides by $-1$

$x=15$

Done! :) Hope this helps! :)
