Answer:

The Answer is: x = 1.444 with repeating 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

212x - 34(2x + 5) = 38

212x - 68x - 170 = 38

212x - 68x = 38 + 170

144x = 208

x = 208/144 = 52/35 or 1.444

Proof:

212(1.444) - 34(2(1.444) + 5) = 38

306.128 - 34(7.888) = 38

306.128 - 268.192 = 37.936 or approximately 38

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)

Answer:

To spend at most $93, they need to rent the room less than or equal 13 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $15 and an additional fee of $6 per hour. The chemistry club wants to spend at most $93 on renting a room. What are the possible numbers of hours the chemistry club could rent the meeting room? Use t for the number of hours. Write your answer as an inequality solved for t,

Let

t ----> the number of hours

we know that

I this problem the word "at most" means "less than or equal to"

The number of hours rented multiplied by the cost per hour, plus the reservation fee, must be less than or equal to $93

The inequality that represent this situation is

$6t+15\leq 93$

solve for t

subtract 15 both sides

$6t\leq 93-15$

$6t\leq 78$

Divide by 6 both sides

$t\leq 13\ hours$

therefore

To spend at most $93, they need to rent the room less than or equal 13 hours.

Linda knitted 1/6 of a sweater on Friday and 2/9 of the sweater on Saturday. On Sunday she knitted 1/2 of the remaining sweater.

sladkih [1.3K]

This is pretty simple. All you have to do is make the first and second fraction share a denominator by multiplying them by each other.

6 • 9 = 54

Then multiply each numerator by the opposing denominator.

1 • 9 = 9

2 • 6 = 12

Here are the new fractions:

9/54

12/54

Now add the 9 and 12 together.

9 + 12 = 21

The complete fraction:

21/54

Subtract 21 from 54 so you can get the remainder of the sweater.

54 - 21 = 33

This is the remainder fraction:

33/54

Can you simplify this? Yes, of course! They can both be divided by 3!

11/18

That is the remainder of the sweater. But you still have to divide it in half! After all, Linda only knitted half of the remaining sweater. Dividing it in half can be done just by multiplying the denominator by 2.

11/36

That should be your answer! Apologies if I got something wrong.
