0 because the number in the middle is the midpoint.
To add them, you first need a common denominator.
So multiply <span> 1/4 by 5/5 and 1/5 by 4/4 first.
Now they'll be 5/20 and 4/20.
Add them to get 9/20. </span>
Answer:
Write the written problem into an equation to get:
3x +2 = 5x -4
To solve:
Add 4 to each side:
3x+6 = 5x
Subtract 3x from each side:
2x = 6
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 6/2
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the left side:
5x - 20 = 3x + 4
Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation:
2x - 20 = 4
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation:
2x = 24
Divide each term by 2 and simplify:
x = 12
2 1/2 = 2.5
12 1/2 = 12.5
This means you can calculate how may times it goes in by dividing it and rounding the number down:
12.5 / 2.5 = 5
*5 can not be rounded down so it stays the same
This means that 2 1/2 goes into 12 1/2 5 times. Hope this helps! :)
