Let the number be x
twice a number: 2x
minus 4: -4
three times a number: 3x
less than symbol: <

form the equation exactly how the sentence is written to give:
2x - 4 < 3x

rearrange by taking 2x away from each side to give an expression for x:
-4<x

Help me plssss <br> its for a math test and im braindead atm

Gwar [14]

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 + 1/4

To add these fractions, you need a lowest common denominator. Both 4 and 8 "go into" 8, so the lowest common denominator is 8.

In order to change the denominator 4 to 8, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2. So, 1/4 becomes 2/8.

Now, the problem is 3/8 + 2/8.

You can add the numerators, because the denominator is the same for each fraction.

3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8

Reduce fraction: a^3+a^2b/5a times 25/3b+3a

Margaret [11]

ANSWER

$\frac{5a}{3}$

EXPLANATION

The given fractions are:

$\frac{{a}^{3} + {a}^{2} b}{5a} \times \frac{25}{3b + 3a}$

We factor to obtain:

$\frac{{a}^{2}(a + b)}{5a} \times \frac{25}{3(a + b)}$

We cancel the common factors to get:

$\frac{{a}(1)}{1} \times \frac{5}{3(1)}$

We multiply the numerators and also multiply the denominators to get:

$\frac{5a}{3}$

Therefore the two fractions simplifies to $\frac{5a}{3}$
