Hi, do you have a specific question with fractions to work on?
2(x-7)/3=-2
3*2(x-7)/2*3=-2*3/2
x-7=-2*3/2
x-7=3*-1
x+(7-7)-7-3
x=7-3
x=4
Answer:
The combined weight of all the kittens is 5 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distribution of kittens according to their weights is as follows:
Weight (W) No. of Kittens (f)
pounds 2
pounds 3
pounds 3
pounds 3
Compute the combined weight of all kittens as follows:
Total weight = ∑ (W × f)
![=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{9}{8}+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{15}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B8%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B8%7D)
![=\frac{4+9+12+15}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B4%2B9%2B12%2B15%7D%7B8%7D)
![=\frac{40}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B40%7D%7B8%7D)
![=5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D5)
Thus, the combined weight of all the kittens is 5 pounds.
