Alright, first thing's first, simplify the equation as much as you can. If you wanted, I suppose you could just multiply everything by 40, but that's super unconventional.
7x/8 - 3x/8 = 1/5 + 3/10
Simplify:
4x/8 = 1/5 + 3/10
Make sure that when subtracting or adding fractions that the denominators (The number on the bottom of the fraction) are equal.
In order to add 1/5 and 3/10 together, all we have to do is ensure that both denominators are equal.
To do this, simply multiply 1/5 by 2/2. The new fraction will be 2/10 (You can do this since it's the exact same fraction, 2/10 will simplify down to 1/5. The reason we did this was to make sure that the two fractions had equal denominators).
Our equation now looks like this:
4x/8 = 2/10 + 3/10
Add the fractions on the right:
4x/8 = 5/10
Huh, whaddya know? Both the fraction on the left and the right can be simplified into 1/2! (4/8 becomes 1/2, and 5/10 becomes 1/2)
1x/2 = 1/2
x/2 = 1/2
If you want to, I suppose you could cross multiply to check, but the answer's already pretty obvious.
x = 1
Good luck! If you need me to explain anything I did here, just ask :))

Answer: 3/4x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let his sister's sale be represented by x.
Since we are informed that Keiko sold 3 less than three-fourths of his sister's sales, the expression that represents what Keiko sold will be:
= (3/4 × x) - 3
= 3/4x - 3

Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
If s is the side of the square base, the area of the square base is s^2.
The volume of the square base is,
V = (s²) (h)
s² = V/h
s² = 3n³ + 13n² + 16n + 4 / <span>3n + 1
You can do this division by factoring, synthetic division, or by plain division.
Factoring out 3n + 1 from the numerator gives you:
</span>s² = (3n + 1)(n² + 4n + 4) / 3n+1
s² = n² + 4n + 4
Therefore, the area of the square base is <span>n² + 4n + 4.</span>
