Multiply it all together 3/4 is 0.75 2/3 is 0.66 1/2 is 0.5 now do in your calculator 0.75+0.66+0.5 and becase everything is in fractions remember that you have to convert your decimal into a fraction your answer is 1 91/100

If the number after it is 5 or more, we round up, if it's 4 or less we round down.
It's 5 so we round up to 6000
If your trying to find x, distribute 2(x+6), which is by multiplying 2 times x, which is 2x and 2 times 6, which is 12. So your left off with 4x+2=2x+12. In order to find x, we have to move the 2 to the right, which will give us 2x+10 and then move 2x to the left to give us 2x=10. Divide both sides by 2, and x= 5.
5*(7x + 5y = 29)
<u>+ 21x - 25y = -33
</u>
35x + 25y = 145
<u>+ 21x - 25y = -33</u>
56 x + 0y = 112
56x = 112
x = 2
Plug the x back in to the original equation to solve for y.
7x + 5y = 29
7(2) + 5y = 29
14 + 5y = 29
5y = 15
y = 3
21x - 25y = -33
21(2) - 25y = -33
42 - 25y = -33
-25y = -75
y = 3
x = 2 and y = 3
