5x-23=87
add 23 to both sides
5x=110
divide both sides by 5
x=22

To check your answer...
5(22)-23=87
110-23=87
87=87

Estimate the sum 7 8/9 + 3.1

Yanka [14]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{7\dfrac{8}{9}+3.1=10\dfrac{89}{90}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Convert the decimal to the fraction:}\\\\3.1=\dfrac{31}{10}=3\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\7\dfrac{8}{9}+3.1=7\dfrac{8}{9}+3\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\\text{The common denominator is 90.}\\90=9\cdot10\\\\7\dfrac{8}{9}=7\dfrac{8\cdot10}{9\cdot10}=7\dfrac{80}{90}\\\\3\dfrac{1}{10}=3\dfrac{1\cdot9}{10\cdot9}=3\dfrac{9}{90}\\\\\\7\dfrac{8}{9}+3.1=7\dfrac{80}{90}+3\dfrac{9}{90}=(7+3)+\dfrac{80+9}{90}=10\dfrac{89}{90}$

(5x-25)+(3x+9)=180 please answer right now

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$x=24.5\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$(5x-25)+(3x+9)+180$

Combine like terms:

$(5x+3x)+(-25+9)=180$

Add:

$8x-16=180$

Add 16 to both sides:

$8x=196$

Divide both sides by 8:

$x=24.5\\$

So, our answer is 24.5 :)
