The answer is: if x represents the number of pencils per box, solve the equation 8x+4=196
-13.4 is the answer. And this is simplified form
2/5 + 1/2
4+5 / 10 • look for the LCD of 5 and 2
which is 10 then 5 goes 2
times into 10 the multiply by 2
= 4. Then 2 goes 5 times into
10 then multiply by 1 = 5.
Therefore the sum of 2/5 + 1/2 =9/10
20-10=10 therefore X=10
10+10=20
So you foil out the problem and get
