Answer:
The simplification for the expression is given as =( 7 + 2(a-3))/(a-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify the expression we will first convert the words to values in numbers and alphabets.
StartFraction 5 Over a minus 3 EndFraction minus 4 divided by 2 + StartFraction 1 Over a minus 3 EndFraction
= 5/(a-3) -4/2 + 2/(a-3)
Having done that, let's move on and simplify the expression.
5/(a-3) -4/2 + 2/(a-3)
= 5/(a-3) -2+ 2/(a-3)
= 5/(a-3) + 2/(a-3) -2
= 7/(a-3) -2
=( 7 + 2(a-3))/(a-3)
<h3><u>The value of x is equal to -2.</u></h3>
5(2x + 8) = -8x + 4
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
10x + 40 = -8x + 4
<em><u>Add 8x to both sides.</u></em>
18x + 40 = 4
<em><u>Subtract 40 from both sides.</u></em>
18x = -36
<em><u>Divide both sides by 18</u></em>
x = -2
2 because the equation can be reduced to: 8.0 x 10^4.
Answer:
7/30 of her music library
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for 7/10 of 1/3. In this case this "of" means we will multiply the two fractions. To multiply fractions, we multiply
top × top
and
bottom × bottom
1/3 × 7/10
is 1×7 on top, and
3×10 on the bottom.
= (1×7)/(3×10)
= 7/30
7/30 cannot be simplified, so that is the answer.
Answer:
1. x = -1.5y
2. 5 (2x-3)
3. p = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Simplifying
7x + 2y + -3x + 4y = 0
Reorder the terms:
7x + -3x + 2y + 4y = 0
Combine like terms: 7x + -3x = 4x
4x + 2y + 4y = 0
Combine like terms: 2y + 4y = 6y
4x + 6y = 0
Solving
4x + 6y = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6y' to each side of the equation.
4x + 6y + -6y = 0 + -6y
Combine like terms: 6y + -6y = 0
4x + 0 = 0 + -6y
4x = 0 + -6y
Remove the zero:
4x = -6y
Divide each side by '4'.
x = -1.5y
Simplifying
x = -1.5y
2)
Common factor
10x - 15
5 (2x-3)
3) Simplifying
5p = 3p + 8
Reorder the terms:
5p = 8 + 3p
Solving
5p = 8 + 3p
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3p' to each side of the equation.
5p + -3p = 8 + 3p + -3p
Combine like terms: 5p + -3p = 2p
2p = 8 + 3p + -3p
Combine like terms: 3p + -3p = 0
2p = 8 + 0
2p = 8
Divide each side by '2'.
p = 4
Simplifying
p = 4
