3/8 because you find the common denominator
8: 8,16,24,32
2: 2,4,6,8
1/2=4/8
7/8-4/8
So the answer is 3/8
You can try to find the denominator and then change the denominator+numerator.
Answer : The correct option is (A) 68.
Step-by-step explanation :
As we are given that:
LN = 6x - 5
LM = x + 7
MN = 3x + 20
Now we have to determine the value of MN.
According to the question:
LN = LM + MN
Now putting all the given values in this expression, we get:
6x - 5 = (x + 7) + (3x + 20)
6x - 5 = 4x + 27
6x - 4x = 27 + 5
2x = 32
x = 16
The value of MN = 3x + 20 = 3(16) + 20 = 48 + 20 = 68
Therefore, the value of MN is 68.
