$475*0.15=$71.25 discount
First you plug in for x,
2(y-3)+y=12
Then you solve for y
2y-5+y=12
-10y+y=12
-9y=12
-9y/9=12/-9
y=-1.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
So to add fractions they need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 24. then multiply 1 by 4 and 5 by 3 because whatever you multiply the denominator by you need to do the same to the numerator, which will get you 4/24+15/24 then you add across the numerators and you get 19/24
Area of Consuela's rectangular living room = 360 square feet
Let us assume the the length of the living room = x
Then
width of the living room = (5/8) * x
= (5x/8)
Then
Area of the rectangle = Length * Width
360 = x * (5x/8)
360 = 5x^2/8
2880 = 5x^2
x^2 = 2880/5
x^2 = 576
x^2 = (24)^2 inches
x = 24
Then
The length of the rectangle is = 24 inches
And
The Width of the rectangle is = 24 * (5/8) inches
= 3 * 5 inches
= 15 inches
Answer:
Quite simply. The answer is X=6
Since you have a full fraction, you can find a common denominator in both fractions and multiply. (The common denominator would be 8, so you would multiply 4 by 2 to get 8. Do the same thing to the top, do multiply 3 by 2 to get 6). Now the fraction is 6/8, and since it's equal to incomplete fraction, you know X is 6.
