Let
x------> height of Leon's older brother
y------> height of Leon
Convert mixed number to an improper fraction
we know that
-----> equation A
-----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
Convert to mixed number
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
1/4 (a) = (2/3)
a = (2/3) * (4)
a=8/3
a= 2 2/3
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
-6(a + 8)
Distribute the -6.
-6a - 48
2.
4(1 + 9x)
Distribute the 4.
4 + 36x or 36x + 4
3.
6(-5n + 7)
Distribute the 6.
-30n + 42
4.
(9m + 10) * 2
Rewrite.
2(9m + 10)
Distribute the 2.
18m + 20
5.
(-4 - 3n) * -8
Rewrite.
-8(-4 - 3n)
Distribute the -8.
32 + 24n or 24n + 32
6.
8(-b - 4)
Distribute the 8.
-8b - 32
7.
(1 - 7n) * 5
Rewrite.
5(1 - 7n)
Distribute the 5.
5 - 35n or -35n + 5
8.
-6(x + 4)
Distribute the -6.
-6x - 24
9.
5(3m - 6)
Distribute the 5.
15m - 30
10.
(-6p + 7) * -4
Rewrite.
-4(-6p + 7)
Distribute the -4.
24p - 28
11.
5(b - 1)
Distribute the 5.
5b - 5
12.
(x + 9) * 5
Rewrite.
5(x + 9)
Distribute the 5.
5x + 45
Add 5/9 to both sides. common denominator would be 72 so you would multiply the top and bottom of 3/8 by 9 (bc 9x8 is 72) to get 27/72. you would multiply top and bottom of 5/9 by 8 to get 40/72 and you would add 40+27 which equals 67 so x=67/72 i believe
