X= Rita's pay
1/2x + 40= Bill's pay


x + (1/2x + 40)= $520
combine like terms

1 1/2x + 40= 520
convert to improper fraction

3/2x + 40= 520
subtract 40 from both sides

3/2x= 480
divide both sides by 3/2

x= 480 ÷ 3/2
to divide fractions, multiply by reciprocal of 3/2

x= 480 * 2/3
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

x= (480*2)/(1*3)

x= 960/3

x= $320 Rita's pay


ANSWER: Rita's pay is $320 using
x + (1/2x + 40)= 520.

Hope this helps! :)

What property does the statement show? (4x8)x3=(8x4)x3
8090 [49]
Why not? Because every math system you've ever worked with has obeyed these properties! You have never dealt with a system where a×b did not in fact equal b×a, for instance, or where (a×b)×c did not equal a×(b×c). Which is why the properties probably seem somewhat pointless to you. Don't worry about their "relevance" for now; just make sure you can keep the properties straight so you can pass the next test. The lesson below explains how I kept track of the properties.
