5x-3-7＝9+2x-16
5x-10＝2x-7
5x-2x＝-7+10
3x＝3
X＝1
The answer is simple to work out you do 3/8 + 1/3
but the denominators are different so you find the lowest common multiple in this case 24 .
the frection is now 9/24 + 8/24 this is 17/24
I changed the fraction by doing this 24(common multiple) divided by 8 (denominator) that's how I got it if you don't understand just ask me
Yes, 8 is a solution
r - 3 ≤ 9; r = 8
plug in 8 to r
(8) - 3 ≤ 9
5 ≤ 9 (true)
hope this helps
