Gerry folded 3/8 of the pile of shirts. Molly folded 1/8 of the pile of shirts. What is the fraction of shirts they folded all together?
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Euclidian theorem (x+9)^2 = 18*8
(x+9)^2 = 144 find the root for both sides
x + 9 = 12 subtract 9 from both sides
x = 3
