Answer:

1.5n

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property can be used to simplify expressions like this (collect terms).

= n(4 -1 +.5 -2)

= n(3 +.5 -2)

= n(3.5 -2)

= n(1.5)

= 1.5n

_____

Of course, you can do the addition in any convenient way. Some like to add all the positive and negative terms, then find the difference.

= n((4 +.5) -(1 +2)) = n(4.5 -3) = 1.5n

$\text {Area = } 3 \dfrac{1}{4} \times 2 \dfrac{3}{4}$

$\text {Area = } \dfrac{13}{4} \times \dfrac{11}{4}$

$\text {Area = } \dfrac{143}{16}$

$\text {Area = } 8 \dfrac{15}{16} \text { ft}^2$

Solve for x: -5/6x= -10/3 x=?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Solve for x: -5/6x= -10/3 x=?

x = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

from the equation ,Solve for x: -5/6x= -10/3 , to solve for x we will first cross multiply

we have; -15= -60x

divide both sides by -60

-15/-60 = -60x/-60

x = 15/60 ( the minus will cancel out)

x = 1/4

check for your answer by putting 1/4 where you see x

i.e -5/6(1/4) = -10/3

-5 × 2/3 = -10/3

-10/3 = -10/3......... proved!!
