Lets write the problem info into an equation and solve step by step:
7(1/3 + 4/5)
the minimum common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15, so we multiply and divide the fractions by a proper number to convert them to be divided by 15 so is easier to add them:
<span>(1/3)(5/5) = (1*5)/(3*5) = 5/15
(4/5)(3/3) = (4*3)/(5*3) = 12/15
</span>so we substitute in the original equation:
7(1/3 + 4/5<span>)
</span>= 7(5/15 + 12/15<span>)
= 7(17/15)
= (7*17)/15
= 119/15</span>

Tyrell worked on
16 - 2(4 + 3x)
what do brackets mean ? they mean that this operation has to be done before everything else in the expression.
as this contains a variable, we cannot fully calculate it, true, but we need to keep this in mind and always treat the content of the brackets as one package.
so, whatever I do from the outside with one part of that package, I have to do also with all the other parts of that package.
so, the multiplication with -2 has to happen with both : 4 and 3x. not just with 4.
therefore, the correct simplification looks like
16 - 8 - 6x
8 - 6x or -6x + 8
Amelia multiplied correctly, but then made a mistake summing things up
10x - 3(4x + 1)
10x - 12x - 3
10x - 12x = -2x
I can't mix the pure constant -3 into the factors of x. that would be like the famous mixing of apples and oranges.
so, the result is
-2x - 3
<u>Part 1)</u> "Four times the difference of a number and
is
"
Let
x--------> the number
we know that
the expressions is equal to

therefore
<u>the answer part 1) is</u>

<u>Part 2)</u> "One third of a number is
less than the number itself"
Let
x--------> the number
we know that
the expressions is equal to

therefore
<u>the answer part 2) is</u>

<u>Part 3)</u> "Ten increased by the quotient of a number and
is
"
Let
x---------> the number
we know that
the expressions is equal to

therefore
<u>the answer Part 3) is</u>

<u>Part 4)</u> "One less than the product of a number and
is
more than the number itself"
Let
x---------> the number
we know that
the expressions is equal to

therefore
<u>the answer Part 4) is</u>
