Question

Can you help me solve and show at least 3 steps please

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 80 / 79 [improper fraction]

x = 1 ¹⁄₇₉ [mixed fraction]

x = 1 + $0.\overline{0126582278481}$

[decimal]

x ≈ 1.01 [decimal to nearest hundredth]

Step-by-step explanation:

10.3x + 4.5x = 15

(10.3 + 4.5)x = 16

(15.8)x = 16

(15.8)x / 15.8 = 16 / 15.8

x = 16 / 15.8

x = (16) / (15 + ⁸⁄₁₀)

x = (16) / (15 + ⅘)

x = (16) / (15 ⅘)

x = (16) / (79 / 5)

x = (16) × (5 / 79)

x = 80 / 79

x = 1 ¹⁄₇₉

x = 1 + ¹⁄₇₉

x = 1 + $0.\overline{0126582278481}$

x ≈ 1.01
