I'm going to do this two ways, one using a calculator and one not.
Let the total amount of his estate be x.
Equation and Solution
If you have a calculator with an a b/c key on it you can do this problem easily, or at least the fractional part will be easy.
First: develop the equation
(4/17) x + (7/13)x + 2/3 x + 2 000 000
Solve the equation
Use the a b/c key on your calculator if you have one. If not go down the second solution part. Put a fraction in as follows.
4 a b/c 17 + 7 a b/c 13 + 2 a b/c 3 =
You should get 1 r 16 r 51
What this translates into is 1 292 / 663 of x
or 955/663 x + 2000000
So the total of fhis estate is
(955/663) x + 2000000 <<<< answer In decimal form you get
1,44 x + 2000000 <<<< answer in decimal.
Note: you cannot solve this to the exact amount of his estate because the fractional amount exceeds x which assumed to be the total amount of his estate.
By hand
Find the ;lowest common denominator of 13 17 and 3. Since all of them are prime numbers the lowest common denominator is 13 * 17 * 3 = 663
\
Next set up the 3 fracttions so the denominator = 663
4 / 17 =( 4 * 13 * 3) / 663 = 156 / 663
7/13 = 7 * 17*3 / 663 = 357 / 663
2/3 = 2*13 * 17 / 663 = 442 / 663
Now add these up 156/663 + 357/663 + 442/663 = 955 / 663 This is irreducible
This fraction is over 1 so it cannot represent the total amount in his estate. It is too large.
(955/663)x + 2000000 <<<<<< fractional answer
1.44x + 2000000 < decimal answer.
Answer:Let x be the number of miles driven on 60 gallons of gas. By setting up and solving a proportion involving x, find the value of x for the car that you have chosen. State the type of car, the mileage, and show both the set up of the proportion and the steps
Step-by-step explanation:
Math I hate math bc it sucks
Let x be the month on which the fee for two plans are equal.
Therefore,
150 + 10x = 50 + 30x
10x - 30x = 50 - 150
-20x = -100
x = 5
Cumulative cost = 150 + 10(5)
= 150 + 50
= 200
Hence, Karan will pay a cumulative cost of $200 dollars with either plan to go to the gym for 5 months.
6 + -15 + -24 + 3 + -25
