(-1/2)/x = -7/3

*multiply both sides by x

(-1/2) = (-7/3)x

*divide both sides by (-7/3)

(-1/2)/(-7/3) = x

dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal:

x = (-1/2)*(-3/7)

* the negative SIGNS cancel

x = (1/2)*(3/7)

x = (1*3)/(2*7)

x = 3/14

Help with number 12 and 13 And please show work so I can understand how to do it

Len [333]

13: multiply the amount by the tax rate (to make a percent a decimal move the decimal point 2 places to the left) and add the original amount and the taxed amount together. For 12 do above but then multiply the total by the tip rate and add together (basically the same as the tax again) :) I hope this helps
