This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
<u>Answer:</u>
Lindsay used 16/24 yards of fabric and has 5/24 yards left over
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
7/8 - 2/3 = ?
Since both fractions have unlike denominators, we are gonna have to rewrite the fractions so we can subtract. We are gonna find the least common denominators, to be able to subtract.
(7/8 x 3/3) - (2/3 x 8/8) = ?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
:
21/24 (7/8) - 16/24 (2/3) = 5/24
You have to start within the parenthesis. To subtract fractions you need a common denominator. You'll get (3/4 - 2/4) Subtract them (1/4)and square both the top and bottom. (1/16) After that multiply by the 4. The number next to the parenthesis.(4/16 = 1/4) After that you add 5/4 to 1/4 and you'll get 6/4 which reduces to 3/2. That is the answer
Answer:
5x + 2x result values are 1 more then 7x - 1 result values
there are no values that will make the 2 expressions equal....
because 5x + 2x = 7x......and the other one is 7x - 1......so the 7x - 1 values will always be 1 number less...because ur subtracting one
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2x.....combine like terms..... = 7x
5x + 2x....subbing in 1 7x - 1....subbing in 1
5(1) + 2(1) = 5 + 2 = 7 7(1) - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6
5x + 2x...subbing in 2 7x - 1...subbing in 2
5(2) + 2(2) = 10 + 4 = 14 7(2) - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13
5x + 2x...subbing in 3 7x - 1...subbing in 3
5(3) + 2(3) = 15 + 6 = 21 7(3) - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20
5x + 2x...subbing in 4 7x - 1....subbing in 4
5(4) + 2(4) = 20 + 8 = 28 7(4) - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27
5x + 2x...subbing in 5 7x - 1...subbing in 5
5(5) + 2(5) = 25 + 10 = 35 7(5) - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34
The answer to your very hard question was very hard to do but the answer is 2
