3 of these books are history books and 1/6 of these books are English books, what fraction of the books are science books?

1/2 are science because if you make 1/3, 2/6 + 1/6= 3/6. 3/6 = 1/2. 1/2 and 1/2 make a whole.

Plz help I don’t understand how to find x?

Oliga [24]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets add 82 + 55 which equals 137, then 137 +47 which equals 184

Now we know that a triangle equals 180 degrees (cannot go over 180), so this tells us x is a negitive number.

-x + 184 = 180

-x = -4

Another way to look at it is; 184 minus what equals 180? 4 does, so it translates into -4.

How do I do this because it's really confusing haha

netineya [11]

A = 1.5
B = -1/3
C = -4/3

A is a positive so there is only one possibility
B is in between 0 and -1, so it has to be -1/3
C is below -1 and so its the improper fraction

Mr.gilliam is 3 years younger than his wife.the sum of their ages is 95.how old is mr.gilliam

Usimov [2.4K]

X = the age of Mr. Gilliam
His wife is 3 years older, so the age of Mr. Gilliam's wife = x+3
The sum of their ages is 95.

$x+x+3=95 \\
2x+3=95 \\
2x=95-3 \\
2x=92 \\
x=46$

Mr. Gilliam is 46 years old.
