Both of the fractions can be added since they both have 8 as the denominator 3/8+5/8=8/8 which is a whole.
Simplify both sides of the equation
(20)(4)= 4(5x+1)
Simplify
80 = 20x+4
Flip the equation
20x+4 = 80
Subtract 4 from both sides
20x+4-4 = 80-4
20x = 76
Divide both sides by 20
20x/20 = 76/20
x= 3.8
There is one solution in this equation
This question does not make much sense. Brigid has already picked 112 bushels, and she picks at a rate of 58 bushels per hour, the scenario question does not make any sense. 58h + 112 = 5...? What does this mean? But whatever the left side of the equation is, first subtract 112 from both sides and divide by 58, then you will get the value of "h."
