So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.
First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.
So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x.
Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.
Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.
Answer:
3:4
Step-by-step explanation:
The original ratio between the red and green crayons would be 18:24, but you would need to simplify that to reach your definite simplified answer. Doing this, you find the least common factor between 18 and 24 which is 3 for 18 and 4 for 24.
Answer:
0,-3

See the steps below:) you can use the app photo math. you just take a picture of the problem and it gives you the answer and explains the steps:)
Answer:
a=2, b=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
n -----> the denominator
we have
Solve for n
That means -----> isolate the variable n
Multiply by n both sides
Divide by 3.5*10^4 both sides
therefore
a=2, b=5
