How to solve 3(x+1)=5(x-2)+7

igor_vitrenko [27]

So first do 3(x+1) which is 3x+3 because you have to multiply the outside number by the stuff in side the parentheses. Then you do the 5(x-2)+7 and it should be 5x-10+7 so now your equation should be 3x+3=5x-10+7 now subtract the 3x from the 5x and now your equation should look like this: 3=2x-10+7. Then you add the 10 and the 7 so now your equation should look like this: 3=2x-3 because it's a -10 and a positive 7 it would be -3. So then you have to add the -3( which now becomes positive to the other 3 in front of the = sign. So now your equation should look like this: 6=2x. Now divide by 2 to get x by its self and now your answer should be 3=x or x=3.

COMPUTE 3 ( 2 1/2 - 1 ) + 3/10

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

<h3> $\boxed{ \frac{24}{5} }$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{3(2 \frac{1}{2} - 1) + \frac{3}{10} }$

Convert mixed number to improper fraction

$\mathrm{3( \frac{5}{2} - 1) + \frac{3}{10} }$

Calculate the difference

⇒ $\mathrm{3( \frac{5 \times 1}{2 \times 1} - \frac{1 \times 2}{1 \times 2} }) + \frac{3}{10}$

⇒ $\mathrm{ 3 \times( \frac{5}{2} - \frac{2}{2}) } + \frac{3}{10}$

⇒ $\mathrm{3 \times ( \frac{5 - 2}{2} ) + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{3 \times \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{10} }$

Calculate the product

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{3 \times 3}{1 \times 2} + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{9}{2} + \frac{3}{10}}$

Add the fractions

⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{9 \times 5}{2 \times 5} + \frac{3 \times 1}{10 \times 1} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{45}{10} + \frac{3}{10} }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{45 + 3}{10 } }$

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{48}{10} }$

Reduce the numerator and denominator by 2

⇒ $\mathrm{ \frac{24}{5} }$

Further more explanation:

Addition and Subtraction of like fractions

While performing the addition and subtraction of like fractions, you just have to add or subtract the numerator respectively in which the denominator is retained same.

For example :

Add : $\mathsf{ \frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1 + 3}{5} } = \frac{4}{5}$

Subtract : $\mathsf{ \frac{5}{7} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{5 - 4}{7} = \frac{3}{7} }$

So, sum of like fractions : $\mathsf{ = \frac{sum \: of \: their \: number}{common \: denominator} }$

Difference of like fractions : $\mathsf{ \frac{difference \: of \: their \: numerator}{common \: denominator} }$

Addition and subtraction of unlike fractions

While performing the addition and subtraction of unlike fractions, you have to express the given fractions into equivalent fractions of common denominator and add or subtract as we do with like fractions. Thus, obtained fractions should be reduced into lowest terms if there are any common on numerator and denominator.

For example:

$\mathsf{add \: \frac{1}{2} \: and \: \frac{1}{3} }$

L.C.M of 2 and 3 = 6

So, ⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{1 \times 3}{2 \times 3} + \frac{1 \times 2}{3 \times 2} }$

⇒ $\mathsf{ \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} }$

⇒ $\frac{5}{6}$

Multiplication of fractions

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term.

When any number or fraction is divided by a fraction, we multiply the dividend by reciprocal of the divisor. Let's consider a multiplication of a whole number by a fraction:

$\mathsf{4 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{4 \times 3}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6}$

Multiplication for $\mathsf{ \frac{6}{5} \: and \: \frac{25}{3} }$ is done by the similar process

$\mathsf{ = \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{25}{3} = 2 \times 5 \times 10}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!

How would I figure out what L= is if V=168 yd W= 7 yd H= 3 yd?

Mariulka [41]

We can assume that the shape is a rectangular prism by the given dimensions

Volume of a rectangular prism
Volume = Area of Base × Height of prism
= Length × Width × Height of prism
Substitute!
168 = L × 7 × 3
168 = L × 21
Divide 21 on either sides to isolate L

$\frac{168}{21}$ = $\frac{L*21}{21}$
21 and 21 cancels out

8 = L
L = 8 yd

640, 160, 40, 10,....

-Dominant- [34]

The pattern is dividing by 4 so it would be: 640 (divided by 4), 160 (divided by 4), 40 (divided by 4), 10 (divided by four), 5/2.
The next number would be 10/4 or 5/2 when simplified. (I’d go with 5/2 because teachers liked simplified numbers)
