Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole book is 1.

So This will be your equation.

1/3 + 1/4 = 1

4/12 +3/12 = 1

7/12 = 1

Now you minus 7/12 from 1

1-7/12 is how much is left

12/12-7/12= 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the book

1/3b is the amount he finished on the first day

1/4b is the amount he finished on the second day

b - (1/3b + 1/4b) is how much he has left

b- (4/12b + 3/12b)       make the denominators the same

b- 7/12b                       add the fractions

5/12b                          The answer

John has 5/12 of the book to finish

I am sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted

But I hope this helps in someway!!!!

dlinn [17]
5.5x + 3 = y
7x =y

5.5x + 3 = 7x (-5.5x both sides)

3 = 1.5x (÷1.5 both sides)

X = 2

11. Four less than a number tripled is the same number increased by ten.<br> What is the number?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we would set up an equation. let 3x-4 represent "four less than a number tripled". "a number" would be represented by x. let x+10 represent "the same number increased by 10".

set 3x-4 and x+10 equal to each other:

3x-4=x+10

next, we would solve this equation for x. first we would get the x together on one side of the equation. we would do this by subtracting x from both sides to remove it from the right side of the equation:

2x-4=10

then, we would get the 2x by itself. we would do this by adding 4 to both sides:

2x=14

finally, we would divide each side of the equation by 2 to find x:

x=7.

The number is 7.

2 of the dozen eggs in a cartoon are cracked about what percent of the carton is not cracked
pychu [463]

well, a carton has a dozen, namely 12 or the 100%, two were cracked.

if we know 12 is the 100%, what is 2 off of it in percentage?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll}&#10;amount&\%\\&#10;\cline{1-2}&#10;12&100\\&#10;2&x&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{12}{2}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{2\cdot 100}{12}\implies x=16.\overline{66}
