Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-7/8 × -3/4 = 21/32

-7 × -3 = 21

-8 × -4 = 32

21/32

<u><em>IMPORTANT: This number is not negative, because a negative times a negative is a positive.</em></u>

By the way, if you didn't know how to arrive at the fraction here's how.

First, Address input parameters & values.

Input parameters & values: The decimal number = 0.65625. Then, write it as a fraction

0.65625/1

Multiply by 100000 both the numerator & denominator

(0.65625 x 100000)/(1 x 100000) = 65625/100000

65.625% = 65.625/100 or 65625/100000

Find LCM (Least Common Multiple) for 65625 & 100000.

3125 is the LCM for 65625 & 100000

Divide by 3125

65625/100000 = (65625 / 3125) / (100000 / 3125)

= 21/32

I'm always happy to help :)

Can you help me with 12-3(x+1)=30

inysia [295]

Greetings!

$12-3(x+1)=30$
Distribute the Parenthesis.
$12-3x-3=30$
Combine like terms.
$9-3x=30$
Add -9 to both sides.
$(15-3x)+(-9)=(30)+(-9)$
$-3x=21$
Divide both sides by -3.
$(-3x)/-3=(21)/-3$
The Answer Is:
$x=-7$

Hope this helps.
