Solve for x:(5 (x - 1/3))/(8) = 5/12
Put each term in x - 1/3 over the common denominator 3: x - 1/3 = (3 x)/3 - 1/3:(5 (3 x)/3 - 1/3)/(8) = 5/12
(3 x)/3 - 1/3 = (3 x - 1)/3:(5 (3 x - 1)/3)/(8) = 5/12
3×8 = 24:(5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12
Multiply both sides of (5 (3 x - 1))/24 = 5/12 by 24/5:(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = (24×5)/(5×12):(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5 (3 x - 1))/(5×24) = (5×24)/(5×24)×(3 x - 1) = 3 x - 1:3 x - 1 = (24×5)/(5×12)
(24×5)/(5×12) = 5/5×24/12 = 24/12:3 x - 1 = 24/12
The gcd of 24 and 12 is 12, so 24/12 = (12×2)/(12×1) = 12/12×2 = 2:3 x - 1 = 2
Add 1 to both sides:3 x + (1 - 1) = 1 + 2
1 - 1 = 0:3 x = 2 + 1
2 + 1 = 3:3 x = 3
Divide both sides of 3 x = 3 by 3:(3 x)/3 = 3/3
3/3 = 1:x = 3/3
3/3 = 1:Answer: x = 1
One number is six times as large as a certain smaller number.
i.e., Y = 6x
Answer is 6x
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
First, to find the constant rate divided 20 miles by 8 days.
20 ÷ 8 = 2.5
Then, we know that in one week there are seven days so we multiply 2.5 x 7
2.5 x 7 = 17.5
Lastly, multiply 17.5 times 4
17.5 x 4 = 70
MARK BRAINLIEST IF IM RIGHT PLEASE HAPPY TO HELP. HAPPY EARLY THANKSGIVING!!!!!
Answer:
70 x 12 1/2 = 875.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1.) When you multiply fractions, you put whole numbers over one.
Step 2.) Then, you change whole numbers with fractions, to improper fractions.
Step 1.)
70/1 x 12 1/2
Step 2.)
70/1 x 25 / 2.
And then we solve!
70 x 25 = 1750
1 x 2 = 2.
1750 divided by 2 = 875.
Hope this helps!!
