1 and 1/2x+3/4x=5/8
combine x's
1 and 1/2x=4/4x+2/4x=6/4x
6/4x+3/4x=5/8=9/4x
9/4x=5/8
multiply both sides by 8
18x=5
x=5/18
x=5/18 or aprox 0.277777777777
Marco does 70 extra math problems each week. 14(5)=70
Answer:
x = -2 y = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
13x - 6y = 22
x - y = 6
6(x-y) = 6*6
6x - 6y = 36
subtract both the equations
13x - 6x -6y + 6y = -14
7x = -14
x = -2
13*-2 -6y=22
-26 -6y=22
-6y = 48
y = -8
answer: x = -2 y = -8
21/4 is equivalent to...
4 x 5 = 20
so, 21/4 = 5 1/4
5 1/4 = 5.25
5 1/4 = 5 2/8 = 42/8
42/8 = 84/16
