Greater
If we get common denominators
1/2=15/30
3/15=6/30
15>6 therefore 1/2>3/15
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Here are the steps on how we will solve this problem.</u>
- Step 1: Divide the shape into squares and rectangles.
- Step 2: Find the area of all squares and rectangles
- Step 3: Sum up all the areas to get your final answer.
Now, let's follow the steps. Please consider looking at the picture I uploaded. Looking at the picture, we can tell that the area is 70 + 32 + 15. Now, let's solve.
- 70 + 32 + 15
- => 102 + 15
- => 117 in²
Hence, the area of the shape is 117 in².

0.8(5x + 15) = 2.6 - x + 3 Use the Distributive Property
4x + 12 = 2.6 - x + 3 Combine like terms (2.6 and 3)
4x + 12 = 5.6 - x Add x to both sides
5x + 12 = 5.6 Subtract 12 from both sides
5x = -6.4 Divide both sides by 5
x = -1.28
