There are three steps to this problem.
1. First, you'll need to find out what 1/4 of 40 is. An easy way to determine this is by simply dividing 40 by 1/4. (This will only work if you have to divide a fraction with a numerator of 1 by a whole number, though.) You'll end up with 10.
2. Then, you will have to determine what 4/5 of 10 is. You can't divide a number by a fraction, so you will have to multiply 10 by 4/5 instead. The picture shown is how you'll set it up.
3. Now you'll need to simply 40/5, to do this, you can simply divide 40 by 5.
Your answer will end up being 8.
Answer:
8 + 3 + -6x
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the like terms so that we could add them. In this case the like terms are,
1. 6x , -2x , -10x
So, these are the only terms that we can add in this expression.
Hence,
=> 8 + 3 + (6x - 2x - 10x)
=> 8 + 3 + -6x
And this is as simple as this expression can go until we find the value of "x" which is not yet told.
Hope my answer helped.
