You would first make the fractions improper (making the numerator bigger then the denominator) in order to do that times the denominator with the whole number and add the numerator.
Ex) 3*8 = 24 + 5 = 29/8
Then you would add both of the improper fractions
Answer:
z=-3 so 2y+3(-3)=-8, 2y-9=-8, add 9 to both sides 2y=1 divide both sides by 2, y=1/2, so 3x+4(1/2)+-3=-2, 3x+2-3=-2, 3x-1=-2, add 1 to both sides, 3x=-1, divide both sides by 3, x=-1/3
We have that
<span> 5x/7=22
multiply by 7 both sides
5x=22*7-------> 5x=154
divide by 5 both sides
x=154/5
x=30.8--------> x=30 4/5
the answer is
x=30 4/5</span>
There are 2/8 in 1/4 and 5/10 in 1/2
