The starting fraction is 7/7
now you subtract 2 for the 2 cookies eaten
7/7 - 2/7 = 5/7
your end fraction is 5/7
Okay. On the part that's not the whole number, see how the top number is BIGGER than the bottom? That means that it's not simplified. In order to make it simplified, you have to take a whole out of the pat that's not a whole number. Since the denominator is 12, the whole is 12/12. So, subtract it from the 13/12.
13/12-12/12=1/12
Now, since you found a whole inside of the fraction you have to add 1 to the whole number.
5+1=6
So, the answer is 6 1/12.
Thanks for the points!

Answer:
35mc
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can simplify the left side. (6+8x)/2 is equal to 3 + 4x. We can put the equation together at this point.
3 + 4x = 5x
we can subtract 4x from both sides to get our final answer,
3 = x, or x = 3. :)
