Answer:

balloons= 9

candles= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of balloons be x

and candles be y

So

15x+8y=192----------1

x+y=17--------------2

from 2, x= 17-y

put x= 17-y in 1

15( 17-y)+8y=192

255-15y+8y=192

solve for y

-7y=192-255

-7y=-63

x=63/7

x=9

put x= 9 in 1

9+y=17

y= 17-9

y=8.

What would the answer be for this equation 7x/20 - 5x/12
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

\frac{1}{15} x

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{7x}{20}  -  \frac{5x}{12}

\frac{3 \times 7x}{3 \times 20}  -  \frac{5 \times 5x}{5 \times 12}

\frac{21x}{60}  -  \frac{25x}{60}

\frac{21x - 25x}{60}  = (21 - 25)x =  - 4x

\frac{ - 4x}{60}  =  -  \frac{ x}{15}

\boxed{\green{=  \frac{1}{15} x}}
