Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

180 + 8x = 160 + 6x

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

Subtract 6x on both sides: 180 + 2x = 160
Subtract 180 on both sides: 2x = -20
Divide both sides by 2: x = -10

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

180 + 8(-10) = 160 + 6(-10)

180 - 80 = 160 - 60

100 = 100

Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.
