Answer:

You have written 26 pages in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

I always enjoyed adding fractions. Something about it is so... <em>simple.</em>

<u>The problem is basically asking us to add 20 1/2 and 5 1/2 together.</u>

I would first suggest adding both halves together, to make 1.

That way, we're left with 20 + 5 + 1. That seem easier, doesn't it?

Then we would add 20, 5 and 1 together, to get 26 whole pages.

And that, to an extent, is how I did it.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

Given:

Written pages for Act 1 = 20 1/2

Written pages for Act 2 = 5 1/2

For making mixed numbers like this easier to add, let's convert them first into an irrational number with this formula,

((Whole Number × Denominator) + Numerator)/Denominator

Thus,

for 20 1/2

((20 × 2) + 1)/2 = 41/2

for 5 1/2

((5 × 2) + 1)/2 = 11/2

Then we add,

41/2 + 11/2

Since, they have the same denominator, no more conversions need, proceed adding the numerators,

(41 + 11)/2 = 52/2 = 26

You've written 26 pages in total.

You know how there are 4 different areas in the graph, rotating it 180 degrees from that position will make it be in quadrant 2 (top left). in order to graph the ponts, since it is right across, then you just have to flip the shape around. like how you take a selfe, it flips the capture image around

What value for x will make the equation true?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

C . 4

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 : -3 multiply with inside of the ( 7x-5 )

= -21x + 15

step 2 : then it will be 21x + 15 = 87 + 3x

step 3 : switch between the odds into like this

21x - 3x = 87 - 15

step 4 : subtract it all

18x = 72

step 5 : bring 18 to the other side

x = 72/18

step 6 : to find the ans of x is just calculate them

x = 72 ÷ 18

= 4

Or you can do like these ⬇️

-3 ( 7x - 15 ) = 87 + 3x

21x + 15 = 87 + 3x

21x - 3x = 87 - 15

18x = 72

x = 72/18 or 72÷18

x = 4
