Answer:
x = -1/7 or -0.14285 - in decimal form
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 5 = -6x + 3
8x + 6x = 3 - 5 { change side }
14x = -2 { basic addition and subtraction }
x = -2/14 { changing sides }
x = -1/7 { simplified }
First, you need to make the fractions have the same denominator:
15 1/2 ---> 15 + (1/2 x 5) = 15 5/10
2 1/10 ---> 2 1/10
Then you need to subtract them from each other:
15 5/10
<u>- 2 1/10</u> (or) 15 5/10 - 2 1/10 = 13 4/10
13 4/10
This gets the answer: <u>13 4/10</u>
7/12 is greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3.
<span>in order to find if this is true, you need to find the common denominator which is 12. in order for 1/3 to have a denominator of 12, you need to multiply by 4. but we all know the rule. whatever we do to the bottom needs to be done to the top, so 1/3 is = 4/12. 7/12 is greater than 4/12. we do the same to 2/3 and multiply the denominator by 4 and the numerator by 4 as well, and the result would be 8/12. if we compare, 7/12 is less than 8/12.</span>
Answer:
-13y - (-72y)
59y is answer
Step-by-step explanation:
let the consecutive multiples be 7(n-1) , 7n and 7(n+1)
so 7(n-1)+7n+7(n+1)=777
or 3n=111,
n=37
