3/7x + 4 = -1/2
subtract 4 from both sides
3/7x= -1/2 - 4
3/7x= -4 1/2
divide both sides by 3/7
x= -4 1/2 ÷ 3/7
convert -4 1/2 to improper fraction
x= (-4*1+1)/2 ÷ 3/7
x= -9/2 ÷ 3/7
multiply by reciprocal of 3/7
x= -9/2 * 7/3
multiply numerators & denominators
x= (-9*7)/(2*3)
x= -63/6
x= -10 3/6
simplify 3/6 by 3
x= -10 1/2
CHECK:
3/7x + 4 = -1/2
3/7(-63/6) + 4= -1/2
(3*-63)/(7*6) + 4= -1/2
-189/42 + 4= -1/2
-4 1/2 + 4= -1/2
-1/2= -1/2
ANSWER: x= -63/6 or -10 1/2
Hope this helps! :)
3/4 / 2/1

5/4 * 1/2 = 5/8
Answer: 3/8 and 5/8
Answer: Mr Smith bought 7 pepperoni pizza
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
cost of cheese pizza =$11
pepperoni pizza cost =$12.50
let number cheese pizza be represented as c
and number of pepperoni pizza be represented as p
such that the total number of pizza bought which equals 13 can be represented as
c+ p= 13
and total cost of both pizza can be expressed as
11c+ 12.50p =153.50
Step 2 Solving
c+ p= 13
11c+ 12.50p =153.50
By elimination method, Multiply equation 1 by 11 and subtract the new equation from equation 2
11c+ 12.50p =153.50
11c+ 11p=143.
1.5p =10.5
p= 10.5/ 1.5 =7
c+ p= 13
c= 13-p =13-7=6
Therefore Mr Smith bought 6 cheese pizza and 7 pepperoni pizza
1.95 + 1.09 = 3.04 so you will spend $3.04 then 5 - 3.04 = $1.96
