I.) (5x+3)/4-(2x-4)/3=5
Clear fractions:
3·((5x+3)/4)=15x+9
4·((2x-4)/3)=8x-16
15x+9-(8x-16)=5
15x+9-8x+16=5
Combine like terms:
7x+25=5
7x=-20
x=-20/7
II.) (3/11)·(5/6)-(9/12)·(4/3)+(5/13)·(6/15)
Remember PEMDAS
So first multiply:
3/11·5/6=15/66
9/12·4/3=3/3·1/1=3/3=1
5/13·6/15=1/13·6/3=6/39=2/13
(15/66)-1+(2/13)
Combine:
15/66-1/1=15/66-66/66=-51/66
-51/66+2/3=-51/66+44/66=-7/66
Answer: -7/66 :)
Think of the "of" as a multiplication sign:
(.15)(12)= 1.8 meters
There you go! hope this helps with this problem and future ones.
15%
amount error is guess subtract actual amount 198-172 = 26
26/172 = 0.15
0.15 x100 = 15%
Change in value = 87 - 42 = 45
percentage change = 45/42 x 100 = 107%
