The answer is 2/6 because both of the numbers can be divided by 2. 4/2 is 2 and 12/2 is 6
14 kg because 2/5 equals 0.4 and 0.1 equals about 1 kg so I add 0.6 which equals 6 kg so i add 8 kg to 6 kg and get 14 kg
Let x= original savings
(x-1,600) - 2/5 (x-1,600) = 1/3x
(x-1,600) - 2/5 + 640 = 1/3x
(3/5)x - 960 = 1/3x
(3/5)x - (1/3)x = 960
(4/15)x = 960
(15/4)(4/15)x = (15/4) 960
x = 15* 240 (960/4 = 240)
x = $3,600 is his original savings
Check:
$3,600 - 1,600 = 2,000
(2/5)($2,000) = $800
2,000 - 800 = 1,200 left over
Answer:
-12x+20
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract similar numbers:
2x - 14x = -12x
Product:
12 - 12x + 8
Group the terms that are similar:
-12x + 12 + 8
Add the numbers:
-12x + 20
Final answer:
-12x + 20
i believe the answer is B
but i could always be wrong :(
