The LCM is of 128 and 32 is 128
1/5(3x - 0.5) + 1/6= x/5 + 0.5
change decimals to fractions (0.5=1/2)
1/5(3x - 1/2) + 1/6= x/5 + 1/2
multiply 1/5 by each term in parentheses
(1/5*3x) + (1/5*-1/2) + 1/6= x/5 + 1/2
multiply within parentheses
3x/5 - 1/10 + 1/6= x/5 + 1/2
need a common denominator; all denominators go into 30
18x/30 - 3/30 + 5/30= 6x/30 + 15/30
combine like terms
18x/30 + 2/30= 6x/30 + 15/30
subtract 6x/30 from both sides
12x/30 + 2/30= 15/30
subtract 2/30 from both sides
12x/30= 13/30
multiply both sides by 30 to eliminate fractions
(12x/30)(30)= (13/30)(30)
12x= 13
divide both sides by 12
x= 13/12 or 1.083333
ANSWER: x= 13/12 or 1.083333
Hope this helps! :)
This is how you set up a percent of error proportion:
<u>Amount of error</u> <u>x(Unknown percent)</u>
Actual value = 100(Percents are out of hundreds)
So if you fill it in, it becomes <u>4</u> <u>x
</u> 80 =100
Cross multiply, 400= 80x.
Solve.
x=5 so percent error is 5%<u>
</u>
Im pretty sure that the answer is 0
