5 - 6 =  - 3k \\  - 1 =  - 3k \\  \frac{1}{3}  = k
First, we combine the terms on the left side of the equation to simplify the equation. Then we divide both sides by -3. k then equals 1/3.
To check, we plug in our value for k into the original equation:
5 - 6 =  - 3k \\ 5 - 6 =  - 3( \frac{1}{3} ) \\  - 1 =  - 1
We found k to be 1/3, so for every instance of k, we plug in 1/3. To simplify, we combine the left side to get -1, and we combine the right side to get -1.
Since -1 = -1, our solution is correct.

What would the answer be for this equation 7x/20 - 5x/12
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

\frac{1}{15} x

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{7x}{20}  -  \frac{5x}{12}

\frac{3 \times 7x}{3 \times 20}  -  \frac{5 \times 5x}{5 \times 12}

\frac{21x}{60}  -  \frac{25x}{60}

\frac{21x - 25x}{60}  = (21 - 25)x =  - 4x

\frac{ - 4x}{60}  =  -  \frac{ x}{15}

\boxed{\green{=  \frac{1}{15} x}}

Do you guys know 1.2n-1.5=0.45n
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.2n - 1.5 = 0.45n

collect like terms

1.2n - 0.45n = 1.5

0.75n = 1.5

divide both side by 0.75

0.75n/0.75 = 1.5/0.75

n =2
