Combine the terms by multiplying into a single fraction.

$\bf{\dfrac{5}{2}x-7=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14 }$

Find the common denominator.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x}{2}-7=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14 }$

Combine fractions with the lowest common denominator.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x(-7)}{2}=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14 }$

Multiply the numbers.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14 }$

Combine the multiplied terms into a single fraction

$\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x}{4}+14 }$

Find the common denominator.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x}{4}+\dfrac{4\cdot14}{4} }$

Combine fractions with the lowest common denominator.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x+4\cdot14}{4} }$

Multiply the numbers.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x+56}{4} }$

Eliminate the denominators of the fractions.

$\bf{4\cdot\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=4\cdot\dfrac{3x+56}{4} }$

Cancel the multiplied terms that are in the denominator.

$\bf{2(5x-14)=3x+56}$

To distribute.

$\bf{10x-28=3x+56 }$

Add 28 to both sides.

$\bf{10x-28+28=3x+56+28 }$

Simplify

$\bf{10x=3x+84 }$

Subtract 3x from both sides.

$\bf{10x-3x=3x+84-3x }$

Simplify

$\bf{7x=84 }$

Divide both sides by the same factor.

$\bf{x=\dfrac{84}{7} }$

Simplify

<h3>Verification</h3>

Let x=12.

$\bf{\dfrac{5}{2}\times12-7=\dfrac{3}{4}\times12+14 }$
$\bf{\dfrac{5\times12}{2}-7=\dfrac{3}{4}\times12+14 }$
$\bf{\dfrac{60}{2}-7=\dfrac{3}{4}\times12+14 }$
$\bf{30-7=\dfrac{3}{4}\times12+14 }$
$\bf{30-7=\dfrac{3\times12}{4}+14 }$
$\bf{30-7=\dfrac{36}{4}+14 }$
$\bf{30-7=9+14 }$
$\bf{23=9+14 }$
$\bf{23=23}$

Sally works 40 hours a week and makes $20 an hour, but her kids are in child care each day and the day care center charges her $

Maslowich

Answer:

$11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the number of hours she works by how much she gets paid per hour.

800

Multiply 50 times 7 (50 being the amount charged for her kid and 7 being the days of the week)

350

Subtract the 350 from the 800

450

Divide the 450 by the number of hours worked per week

450/40

Answer: 11.25

So Sally actually makes 11.25 per hour.

The length of a rectangle is 12 units longer than the width. The perimeter is 7 times the width. Find the length and the width o

katen-ka-za [31]

Log explanation below; answer is at bottom.

If the length, l, is 12 units longer than the width, w, then w = l - 12. If the perimeter, p,

p = 2l +2w,

is 7 x w, then

w = p/7

When two things are set equal to the same variable, they are equal to each other, so,

l - 12 = p/7

Now you need to get rid of the p so you are only working with one variable. To do this you plug in whatever p is equal to for p, so,

l - 12 = (2l + 2w)/7 now to get rid of the w do the same thing we did with p just for w. So,

l - 12 = (2l + 2(l - 12))/7

To solve this you want to multiply both sides by 7 first to get rid of the fraction.

7l - 84 = 2l + 2(l - 12)

Next you want to distribute the 2 over the l and the 12.

7l - 84 = 2l + 2l - 24

Next you want to combine like terms on each side.

7l - 84 = 4l - 24

Next add 84 and subtract 4l from sides to isolate the variable.

3l = 60

Now divide each side by 11 to get your answer.

l = 20.

To find the width,

w = l - 12

Just plug in and solve.

w = 20 - 12

w = 8

So your length and width are 20 and 8.

l = 20

w = 8

Kat plays a surfing video game with a friend. Each player earns 50 points for each trick he performs, but loses 40 points each t

Dahasolnce [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of points got from 1 stunt = 50.

No. of points deducted from 1 fail = 40.

6 stunts and 9 falls were gained last week.

So, A/C the number of points earned =

(6×50)-(9×40)

= 300 - 360

= -60

Her score today is 3 times her score from last week so multiply by 3

= (-60) × 3

= -180

If it were multiplied by -3 instead of 3 it would be...

(-60) × (-3)

= 180

The difference would be that on multiplying with positive 3 she would be 180 points in the whole but multiplying with negative three means she is 180 points in the league.

The similarity is that that whole number is same but the symbol adds a difference and the absolute value would be same too.
