Not sure what you mean by drag and drop but Im going to attempt this.
-3/5 = -12/20
1/5 = 4/20
That makes no sense. It should be -8/20 < 7/20?
Bria ordered 145 centimeters of fabric. Jayleen ordered 1.5 meters of fabric. Who ordered more fabric?
Answer:
Number of males: 30
Number of females: 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of males
Males: x
Females: x - 16
x + x - 16 = 44
2x = 44 + 16
2x = 60
x = 30
Males: 30
Females 30 - 16 = 14
let "a number" = x
(x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72
Simplify. Combine like terms
3x + 3 = 72
Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
3x + 3 (-3) = 72 (-3)
3x = 72 - 3
3x = 69
3x/3 = 69/3
x = 69/3
x = 23
23 is the smallest number
hope this helps
The simplified form is 6x-6
