Answer:
5 9/14
7 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 4 1/7 + 1 1/2= 4+ 1/7 +1 +1/2 = 5 + 1/7 +1/2 = 5+ 2/14 + 7/14= 5 + 9/14= 5 9/14
b) 4 1/2 ÷ 3/5 = 9/2 ÷ 3/5 = 9/2 *5/3= 3/2*5= 15/2= 7 1/2
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Set each expression from the parentheses equal to 0 separately like so:
Equation 1: x - 4 = 0
 Equation 2: -5x + 1 = 0
Now for each equation solve for x!
Equation 1:
x +(- 4 + 4) = 0 + 4
x = 4
Equation 2:
-5x +( 1-1) = 0 - 1
-5x/ -5 = -1 / -5
x = 1/5
Check:
(4 - 4)(-5*4 + 1)
(0) (-20 + 1)
(0) (-19)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
(1/5 - 4)(-5 * 1/5 + 1)
(-19/5)(-1 + 1)
(-19/5)(0)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
smaller x = 1/5
larger x = 4
Hope this helped!
