Answer:

x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 5 - 3x + 2 = 0

Combine like terms

2x - 3 = 0

Isolate variable x

Add 3 to both sides

2x = 3

Divide both sides by 2

x = 3 ÷ 2

x = 1.5

30 POINTS<br><br> why are 3/4 and 6/8 equivalent

Flauer [41]

Step-by-step explanation: In order to decide whether the given fractions are equivalent, first write each fraction in lowest terms. Remember, a fraction is written in lowest terms if the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator is 1.

For our first fraction which is 3/4, the greatest common factor of 3 and 4 is 1, the fraction is already in lowest terms.

For our second fraction however, since the greatest common factor of 6 and 8 is 2, we must divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 which gives us 3/4.

3/4 = 3/4 which means these fractions are equivalent.

3/4 and 6/8 are equivalent because if you reduce 6/8 in lowest terms, you end up with the fraction 3/4.

Kyle soles 18 of 24 puzzles in a puzzle book. he says that he can use an equivalent fraction to find the percent of puzzles in t

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

He solved 75% of the puzzles!

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, let's look at our fraction 18 out of 24. We can see that they are both even numbers, so at worst, we can divide the entire fraction by two. However, they have a GCF of six, so we will use that.

18 3

---- divided by 6 = ----

24 4

Now that we have the fraction 3/4, we can turn that into a percentage!

3/4 is 0.75. To get the percentage, we multiply that by 100--now we have 75%.

When she adds 2 to both sides, the equation 4x = 3x results. Which solution will best illustrate what happens to x ?

kotykmax [81]

The solution will illustrate that the equation has one solution at x=0.

Given that adds 2 to both sides, the equation 4x = 3x results.

An algebraic equation may be described as a mathematical declaration wherein expressions are set the same as every other.
