X=lottie's aples

give 1/4 of them to fred
origianly had 4/4, but gave 1/4 away so now has (3/4)x
eats 5 of them
(3/4)x-5
now she has 7 more than fred (fred has (1/4)x

so

(3/4)x-5 is 7 more than (1/4)x
(3/4)x-5=7+(1/4)x
add 5 to both sides
(3/4)x=12+(1/4)x
minus (1/4)x from both sides
(2/4)x=12
(1/2)x=12
times 2/1 both sides
2/2x=24
x=24

she had 24 to begin with

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The amount Trevor's family pay per minute on shower water is $0.005.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of water is,

Cost = $0.20/liter

Amount of water used over the entire month:

Amount of water used = 72 liters

Compute the total water cost as follows:

Total water cost = Amount of water used × Cost

                           = 72 × 0.20

                           = $14.4/liter

The average number of minutes each person showered is:

Average number of minutes = 480 minutes.

The number of people in Trevor's house:

N = 6

Compute the total amount of time the 6 person showered as follows:

Total amount of time = Average number of minutes × N

                                   = 480 × 6

                                   = 2880 minutes

Compute the pay per minute on shower water as follows:

Pay per minute on water = Total water cost ÷ Total amount of time

                                          = $14.4 ÷ 2880

                                          = $0.005

Thus, the amount Trevor's family pay per minute on shower water is $0.005.

I need to know how to solve the problem:<br><br><br>3/2x+1/5x=11/6x-2/15
Schach [20]
3/2x + 1/5x = 11/6x - 2/15....to get rid of fractions, multiply by common denominator, which is 30.

45x + 6x = 55x - 4
51x = 55x - 4
51x - 55x = -4
-4x = -4
x = -4/-4
x = 1

Answer:

8/24 is correct. However, I would simplify 8/24 down to 1/3, since most teachers want you to do that.
