My son is trying to figure out how to decompose 8/12 and what he has to work with is x/2 + x/2 =8/12

Mathematics

X/2 + x/2 = 2x / 2 or just x. So x = 8/12 which can be simplified by their greatest common factor of 4. Divide both top and bottom by 4. This gives you x = 2/3. 

Your answer for that equation is x = 2/3

Not sure what you mean by "decompose" though.

It's the day before Valentine's Day and Shelly needs to get Valentine cards for all of her classmates.The desks are arranged in
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

No of desks along  length of the rectangle = 7 as it is 7 rows wide.

No of desks along  breadth of the rectangle = 7 as it is 5 rows long.

Total number of students is product of these two numbers.

So number of students = 35.

But three desks are empty.

Total students = 35- 3

                         = 32.

4a/3-b/4=6<br> 5a/6+b=13<br> Solve linear system by elimination
kondor19780726 [428]
\bf \cfrac{4a}{3}-\cfrac{b}{4}=6&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;\cfrac{5a}{6}+b=13&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{let us remove the denominators off those folks}\\&#10;\textit{by multiplying the first one by 12, both sides}\\&#10;\textit{and the second one by 6, both sides, thus}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;12\left( \cfrac{4a}{3}-\cfrac{b}{4} \right)=12(6)\implies 16a-4b=72&#10;\\\\\\&#10;6\left( \cfrac{5a}{6}+b \right)=6(13)\implies 5a+6b=78

\bf  \textit{now, let's do the elimination}&#10;\\\\&#10;&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;16a-4b=72&\boxed{\times 3}\implies &48a-\underline{12b}=216\\\\&#10;5a+6b=78&\boxed{\times 2}\implies &10a+\underline{12b}=156\\&#10;&&--------\\&#10;&&58a+0\quad=372&#10;\end{array}

solve for "a", once you get "a", plug it back into either equation to get "b"
