To answer you get the same denominator so multiply both denominators with each other and do the same with the top so 25 will be at both bottoms and well 15/25 and 8/25. Then solve
Xy=20 As the width gets smaller, the length should get larger.
The mean of the numbers is c. 67
See the attached picture for 2 options for question 1 and 2 depending on how the fractions are written.
Question #3:
17 = -13 - 8x
Add 13 to each side:
30 = -8x
Divide both sides by -8:
X = 30 / -8
X = -3 3/4
The answer is 184. 23 * 8 = 184. 184 * 2 = 368. 368 ÷ 2 = 184
