Alright, first thing's first, simplify the equation as much as you can. If you wanted, I suppose you could just multiply everything by 40, but that's super unconventional.

7x/8 - 3x/8 = 1/5 + 3/10

Simplify:
4x/8 = 1/5 + 3/10

Make sure that when subtracting or adding fractions that the denominators (The number on the bottom of the fraction) are equal.

In order to add 1/5 and 3/10 together, all we have to do is ensure that both denominators are equal.

To do this, simply multiply 1/5 by 2/2. The new fraction will be 2/10 (You can do this since it's the exact same fraction, 2/10 will simplify down to 1/5. The reason we did this was to make sure that the two fractions had equal denominators).

Our equation now looks like this:
4x/8 = 2/10 + 3/10

Add the fractions on the right:
4x/8 = 5/10

Huh, whaddya know? Both the fraction on the left and the right can be simplified into 1/2! (4/8 becomes 1/2, and 5/10 becomes 1/2)

1x/2 = 1/2
x/2 = 1/2

If you want to, I suppose you could cross multiply to check, but the answer's already pretty obvious.

x = 1

Good luck! If you need me to explain anything I did here, just ask :))

Graph the line by locating any two ordered pairs that satisfy the equation. Round to the nearest thousandth, if necessary.
solmaris [256]

To answer the question we start by placing two ordered pairs that satisfy the equation y = 2x

To do this we enter a value of "x" and then find "y"

Let's start with x = 2

y = 2 (2)

y = 4

Then the first ordered pair that satisfies the equation is dot (2,4)

Now, for x = 0

y = 2(0)

y = 0

Then the second ordered pair that satisfies the equation is the point (0,0).

With these two pairs we draw the graph of the equation, which is shown in the attached image.

You are buying packages of beads to make bracelets. Each package costs $3 plus 7% tax. You have a gift card for $15, and you pla
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The funtion is:

C(p)= 3(p)+1.07 (1)

where: 3 is the package cost, p is the number of packages and 1.07 is the taxes

the cost could be equal or less than the gift card value so:

CC \leq 15 (2)

Replace 2 en 1

15\leq 3(p) x 1.07

3(p)\leq \frac{15}{1.07}

3p [tex]\leq14.02\\\\p\leq \frac{14.02}{3} \\\\p\leq 4.67[/tex]

It´s important to aprox the quantity to the minimum value so I can buy 4 packages

The reasonable domain is for all R because any number is a possible value of the independent variable
