5 or more round up
4 or less round down
Answer:
x=−32/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
1/2(1/4x−3/5)=1/4(2/5+3/4x)
(1/2)(1/4x)+(1/2)(−3/5)=(1/4)(2/5)+(1/4)(3/4x)(Distribute)(1/2)(1/4x)+(1/2)(−3/5)=(1/4)(2/5)+(1/4)(3/4x)(Distribute)
1/8x+−3/10=1/10+3/16x
1/8x+−3/10=3/16x+1/10
Step 2: Subtract 3/16x from both sides.
1/8x+−3/10−3/16x=3/16x+1/10−3/16x
−1/16x+−3/10=1/10
Step 3: Add 3/10 to both sides.
−1/16x+−3/10+3/10=1/10+3/10
−1/16x=2/5
Step 4: Multiply both sides by 16/(-1).
(16/−1)*(−1/16x)=(16/−1)*(2/5)
x=−3/25
Answer:
Sam owes 4 friends $5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up the equation
23 = 5x + 3
Subtract the 3 from both sides
20 = 5x
x = 4 friends
