Answer:
Yes it's possible you just got to crop it to your liking
3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j
to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4
so j = 5/4
Answer: 1 1/14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
digital cameras be "x"
video cameras be "y"
Now,
According to the question,
5x + 3y = $3,213..................................................equation (1)
y = 4x..................................................................equation (2)
Taking equation (1)
5x + 3y = $3,213
Substituting the value of "y" from equation (2), we get,
5x + 3(4x) = $3,213
5x + 12x = $3,213
17x = $3,213
x = $3,213 / 17
x = $189
Taking equation (2)
y = 4x
Substituting the value of "x", we get,
y = 4 ($189)
y = $756
Now,
John buys a digital and a video camera. So, it costs him ($189 + $756) = $945
