Answer:

(-17)/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-7/10 + 2/8 + 1/10 - 4/8

The gcd of 2 and 8 is 2, so 2/8 = (2×1)/(2×4) = 2/2×1/4 = 1/4:

-7/10 + 1/4 + 1/10 - 4/8

The gcd of -4 and 8 is 4, so (-4)/8 = (4 (-1))/(4×2) = 4/4×(-1)/2 = (-1)/2:

-7/10 + 1/4 + 1/10 + -1/2

Put -7/10 + 1/4 + 1/10 - 1/2 over the common denominator 20. -7/10 + 1/4 + 1/10 - 1/2 = (2 (-7))/20 + 5/20 + 2/20 - 10/20:

(2 (-7))/20 + 5/20 + 2/20 - 10/20

2 (-7) = -14:

(-14)/20 + 5/20 + 2/20 - 10/20

-14/20 + 5/20 + 2/20 - 10/20 = (-14 + 5 + 2 - 10)/20:

(-14 + 5 + 2 - 10)/20

-14 + 5 + 2 - 10 = (5 + 2) - (14 + 10):

((5 + 2) - (14 + 10))/20

5 + 2 = 7:

(7 - (14 + 10))/20

5/6(2x+12)-8=4-(x+1)

alekssr [168]

For this case we have the following equation:

$\frac {5} {6} (2x + 12) -8 = 4- (x + 1)$

We apply distributive property on the left side of the equation:

$\frac {5 * 2} {6} x + \frac {5 * 12} {6} -8 = 4- (x + 1)\\\frac {10} {6} x + \frac {60} {6} -8 = 4- (x + 1)$

We simplify the left side of the equation:

$\frac {5} {3} x + 10-8 = 4- (x + 1)$

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

$\frac {5} {3} x + 2 = 4- (x + 1)$

On the right side we must take into account that:

$- * + = -$

So:

$\frac {5} {3} x + 2 = 4-x-1\\\frac {5} {3} x + 2 = 3-x$

We add x to both sides of the equation:

$\frac {5} {3} x + x + 2 = 3\\\frac {5 * 1 + 3 * 1} {3} x + 2 = 3\\\frac {5 + 3} {3} x + 2 = 3\\\frac {8} {3} x + 2 = 3$

We subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

$\frac {8} {3} x = 3-2\\\frac {8} {3} x = 1$

We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:

$8x = 3$

We divide by 8 on both sides of the equation:

$x = \frac {3} {8}$

Thus, the solution of the equation is:

$x = \frac {3} {8}$

Answer:

$x = \frac {3} {8}$

A bag contains 50 blue marbles and 66 red marbles. If 88 more red marbles are added to the bag, how many more blue marbles must

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After adding 88 red marbles, there are 50 blue marbles out of the 204 marbles total.

Let the number of blue marbles to be added be x.

$\frac{50+x}{204+x}=\frac{5}{12} \\ \\ 600+12x=1020+5x \\ \\ 420=7x \\ \\ x=60$

Cindy has printed 45 pages. Each page has 18 stickers

prisoha [69]

Answer:

810 stickers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 18 stickers per page, we need to use multiplication to calulate how many stickers we have total.

Our problem is 45*18, since we have 45 pages, each with 18 stickers.

45*18=810

Cindy has 810 stickers in all.

Hope this helps!
