Simplify 3x - 5 + 12x - 4x + 14 to 11x + 9
11x + 9 = 86
Subtract 9 from both sides
11x = 86 - 9
Simplify 86 - 9 to 77
11x = 77
Divide both sides by 11
x = 77/11
Simplify 77/11 to 7
<u>x = 7</u>
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets work backwards, he had $5 after it all, and spent $1.25 on a snack, so we add that to the remainder, which is $6.25. then he spent half of that on whatever stuff he likes, so add $6.25 and $6.25, which is $12.50
Ok so basically you have to find an fractions that simplifies to 1/4. So 2/8 is a good example of a equivalent fraction
