1/3 is greater. Picture a pie with nothing cut into it. Then, you cut 3 equal pieces out of it, leaving no pie remaining. So, if you take 1 piece, you have 2 pieces that you didn't take. So if you do the exact same thing, but you cut <em>8 </em>pieces out of the pie and you take 1 piece, there are still 7 pieces remaining. So 1/8 is a smaller part of the pie than the 1/3, since you are cutting the pie into 8 identical pieces while with 1/3 you are cutting the same sized pie into 3 pieces. Sorry if I was confusing, just ask me if you want an easier-to-understand explanation. Also, if you pick a "brainliest" answer, it actually <em>gives </em>you points.
x=23
Simplifying
(3x + -50) + (7x)
Reorder the terms:
(-50 + 3x) + (7x)
Remove parenthesis around (-50 + 3x)
-50 + 3x + (7x) =
Combine like terms: 3x + (7x)
-50 + 10x
Solving
-50 + 10x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '50' to each side of the equation.
-50 + 50 + 10x = 180 + 50
Combine like terms: -50 + 50 = 0
0 + 10x = 180 + 50
10x = 180 + 50
Combine like terms: 180 + 50 = 230
10x = 230
Divide each side by '10'.
Simplifying
x = 23
5/7m - 2 - 6/7m = -13
5/7m - 6/7m - 2 = -13
-1/7m - 2 = -13
-1/7m = -11
-m/7 = -11
-m = -77
m = 77
