The answer is 5. Take 10 and divide that into 2 groups equally.
-9 would be the answer. you would round -9 1/6 to -9. 2 1/3 to 2. -1 7/8 to -2.
Sheila Total:: 6x
<span>Sherri Total:: 5(x+10) = 5x+50
</span><span>(a) Write an equation. Let x represent the amount of one of Sheila’s deposits.
6x = 5x+50
</span><span>(b) Solve the equation. Show your work.
x = 50
</span><span>(c) Check your solution. Show your work.
6*50 = 5(50+10)
300 = 5*60
300 = 300</span>
<span>(d) State the solution in complete sentences.
I'll leave that to you.
:)</span>
16/12 = (x-1)/6
x-1 = 4/3 . 6
x = 24/3 + 1 = 9
32/24 = (y+1)/21
y+1 = 4/3 . 21
y = 84/3 - 1 = 25
1-5/8=3/8
If he had 5/8 leftover, then he used 3/8.
