8x - 10 = 86 {combined like terms}

8x = 96 {added 10 to both sides}

x = 12 {divided both sides by 8}

3x - 5 = 31 {substituted 12, in for x, into 3x - 5}

width = 12 in.

length = 31 in.

4 dozen. That means she used half, she has 2 dozen left. 1/4 of that is 1/2 of a dozen, so she has 6 or 1/2 a dozen snickers bars left. Is this middle school? I am in middle school and my lessons are constant of proportionality!!

Jonah runs 3/5 miles on Sunday and 7/10 miles on Monday.He uses the model to find that he ran a total of 1 mile. What mistake do

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: He did not convert the fractions into the like fraction to add.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The distance Jonah runs on Sunday= $\frac{3}{5}$ miles

The distance Jonah runs on Monday= $\frac{7}{10}$ miles

The total distance he ran = $\frac{3}{5}+\frac{7}{10}\ miles$

Since both the fractions are not like , thus multiply 2 to the numerator and the denominator of the first fraction [to add fractions first convert them into like fractions], we get

The total distance he ran = $\frac{3\times2}{5\times2}+\frac{7}{10}\ miles$

$=\frac{6}{10}+\frac{7}{10}=\frac{6+7}{10}\\\\=\frac{13}{10}=1\frac{3}{10}\ miles$

The right answer is "The total distance he ran = $1\frac{3}{10}\ miles$ "
