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 :))

The price of a pair of jeans was $60 after a 50% markup. What was the price of the jeans before the markup?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an original price p

We mark them up by 50%

p + p*50%

Changing to decimal form

p+.50p = 1.5p

The new price is 60 dollars

1.5p = 60

Divide each side by 1.5

1.5p/1.5 = 60/1.5

p =40

The original price is 40

In terms of rigid transformations (reflections, rotations, and translations), what does this difference represent?
makvit [3.9K]

Solution:

There are four kinds of rigid transformations.

1. Reflection

2. Rotation

3. Translation

4. Dilation

1.  The Meaning of term reflection is when we reflect something through a line or mirror the distance of object from line of reflection on both sides are same. The two images Preimage and image are congruent.

2.   Rotation means rotating an object or geometrical shape through an angle. An angle can be of any measure that is 0,30°,45°,90°,...... In rotation the two , image and preimage are congruent.

3.  While in translation , we shift something from a place to another place keeping the two images,that is image and preimage are congruent.

In all three,either in  reflection, rotation,or  translation  there is no change in shape and size, the two that is  image and Preimage are congruent.

Question 13
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

  B.  30x

  D.  x(45-15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property lets you factor out the common factor of x. The sum of coefficients can be simplified to a single coefficient.

  45x -15x = x(45 -15) = 30x
