\dfrac{x-3}{x} - initial fraction

\dfrac{x-3+1}{x+1}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\dfrac{x-2}{x+1}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\2(x+1)=3(x-2)\\2x+2=3x-6\\x=8\\\\\dfrac{8-3}{8}=\dfrac{5}{8}

It's \dfrac{5}{8}

This is a relatively easy question if you know a couple things, so let me walk you through this step by step ok?

<em>Answer: 115°</em>

<h3>Sum of interior angles of a pentagon: 540°</h3>

Now with that said:

<em>540-(135+112+88+90)=y</em>

Your first step is to add all of the interior angles together, and then subtract it from the total sum of the interior angles of the shape that your working with.

If you don't know what the sum of all of the interior angles are for the shape you are working with, you can easily look it up on google to be sure.

<em>If you have anymore questions, </em>Don't be afraid to ask! I'm always glad to help, also if I am wrong please let me know and I promise I will come back and rework my math.

<h2>Thanks!</h2>

Emmanuel went to the store and

Answer:

$148.50

Step-by-step explanation

I solved this by using fractions.

x/450=33/100 is how I set up the problem. 33/100 represents 33%, while x/450 represents how much the jacket costs now.

I then went across and multiplied x by 100, and 450 by 33, which gave me 100x=14850. After this I divided each side by 100 to get 148.5, being the cost of the jacket.

Marco states that 7.696696669…… is a rational number because it is a repeating decimal. Is he correct? Justify your answer.

No because if it were repeating it would be repeating the same number over and over again. so its neither repeating or rational.
