Answer:
m = 25/28
Step-by-step explanation:
It's best to enclose fractional coefficients inside parentheses to eliminate ambiquity: 2/7m-1/7=3/14 => (2/7(m - (1/7) = (3/14).
The LCD is 14; each of the denominators {7, 14} divides evenly into 14. Hence our equation becomes
(4)(m - 1/7) = 3
... after multiplying every term by 14.
Let's multiply each side by 7 to eliminate the remaining fraction:
4(7m - 1) = 21, or
28m - 4 = 21, or
28m = 25.
Hence, m = 25/28.
Answer:
$253.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount saved = Amount Rhonda saved + Amount Margo saved
= $478.50 − $225
Amount Margo saved = $253.5
A basket contains 12 apples and some other fruit
40% of the total fruit are apples...so 40% of the total fruit is 12..
0.40x = 12....with x being the total fruit in the basket <== ur equation
x = 12 / 0.40
x = 30....and u have 30 pieces of fruit in the basket
