X/8 - 10 = x/3
bring the values with the variable on one side
x/3 - x/8 = 10
find a common denominator and subtract these fractions
8x/24 - 3x/24 = -10
now subtract fractions
8x - 3x = 5x
5x/24 = -10
multiply both sides by 24
5x = -240
divide both sides by 5
x = -48
the number is -48
B and d should be the answer
24 single felled organisms there are to 30 minute periods in each hour which produces 2 organisms that is 12 periods and 12 multiplied by 2 is 24
•For Denominator with Roots , we need to multiply it with itself to the both the numerator and denominator.
Then , Do as follows:
To start this problem, what we need to do is try to simplify the fraction into one we might know already. The best way to go about doing this is to see if we can divide the top and bottom by any of the same numbers.
We can divide 9 by 1, 3, and 9
We can divide 12 by 1, 3, 4, and 12
Looking back over the numbers, we can see that both 9 and 12 are divisible by 3, so if we divide both of them by 3, we will get a new fraction! This fraction will be 3/4.
Our next step is to see if we know what 3/4 is. I know 1/4 is .25 because the coin called a quarter is 25 cents, so if I had 3 quarters, I would have 75 cents, so I know know that 9/12 = 3/4 = .75!
