Step-by-step explanation:
5x-(x+3)=1/3(9x+18)-5
5x-x+3=3x+6-5
1/3 multiplied by 9/1 is three because if you take away the ones and put your problem like this: 9/3, you'll get 3.
1/3 multiplied by 18/1 is six because if you take away the ones and switch to division, it'll look like this: 18/3. 18/3 is 6.
5x-1x+3=3x+6-5
If a variable is alone, you should - in this case - put a one before it, but if the variable is alone you should know that it's automatically a one.
4x+3=3x-1
6-5=1 Simple math problem, probably self explanatory
4x+3=3x-1
Subtract 3x from 4x and you'll get 1x because 4-3 is 1.
1x+3=-1
Then you add 3 to -1 which is 2.
The answer is 1x=2
Or you could've done:
4x+3=3x-1
-4x -4x
3=-1x-1
+-1 +-1
2=1x
It's the same answer, but all I did was subtract the 4x from the 4x and 3x.
Answer:
I believe it would be -11/4.
Something is strange in the wording of the question. "Of the division problems, 4/9 of the problems he got incorrect. What fraction of the division problems did Gavin get incorrect?" :) Well 4/9 of course. One statement answers another. Maybe they wanted the fraction of those wrong answers were in relation to the entire test???
...............
The answer would be the balance
The correct value for m is 0(zero). :)
