x−3=−x+5

Add x to both sides.

x−3+x=−x+5+x

2x−3=5

Add 3 to both sides.

2x−3+3=5+3

2x=8

Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2 = 8 /2

x= 4

Ken wants to install a row of ceramic tiles on a wall that is 21 3/8 inches wide. Each tile is 4 1/2 inches wide. What fraction

pentagon [3]

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs 4 3/4 whole tiles, you could round it to 5 whole tiles. He needed 4 3/4 whole tiles. To completely fill in all the spaces on the wall evenly, it needs to be 5 even, while, tiles. To fill in the empty space, you must subtract 5 and 4 3/4, which explains why Part A says “How many whole tiles does he need” and the answer “4 3/4” So, Subtraction: 5- 4 3/4 = 1/4!

Your welcome :)
