Answer: x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand.
32−8x=7x+2
Add 8x to both sides.
32=7x+2+8x
Simplify 7x+2+8x7x+2+8x to 15x+215x+2.
32=15x+2
Subtract 22 from both sides.
32−2=15x
Simplify 32−2 to 30.
30=15x
Divide both sides by 15.
30/15=x
Simplify 30/15 to 2
2=x
Switch sides.
x=2
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
GCF: the greatest common factor of numerator and denominator is a factor that can be removed to reduce the fraction.
<em>Example</em>
The numerator and denominator of 6/8 have GCF of 2:
6/8 = (2·3)/(2·4)
The fraction can be reduced by canceling those factors.
(2·3)/(2·4) = (2/2)·(3/4) = 1·(3/4) = 3/4
___
LCM: the least common multiple of the denominators is suitable as a common denominator. Addition and subtraction are easily performed on the numerators when the denominator is common.
<em>Example</em>
The fractions 2/3 and 1/5 can be added using a common denominator of LCM(3, 5) = 15.
2/3 + 1/5 = 10/15 + 3/15 = (10+3)/15 = 13/15
