One of my cats, Apollo, drives a cat car. He used 6/8 of a tank of gas to visit his friends for the weekend, and another 1 half

of a tank to commute to work the next week. He then took another weekend trip and used a 1/4 tank of gas. How many tanks of gas did Apollo use altogether? Tanks of gas

Answer:

Total gas used = 3/2 of a tank of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Visit to friend = 6/8 of a tank of gas

Commute to work = 1/2 of a tank of gas

Weekend trip = 1/4 of a tank of gas

Total gas used = Visit to friend + Commute to work + Weekend trip

= 6/8 + 1/2 + 1/4

= 6+4+2/8

= 12/8

= 3/2

Total gas used = 3/2 of a tank of gas

Solve the equation<br> 3x-2<br> 4<br> -<br> 2x - 5- 1 + x<br> 3 6

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf x=12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \cfrac{3x-2}{4}-\cfrac{2x-5}{3}=\cfrac{1+x}{6}$

First, let's find the LCM of 4, 3, and 6.

<u>How to find the LCM:</u>

→ List multiples of each number.

→ Find the smallest number on each list.

4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24..

3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27....

6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42...

<u>LCM: 12</u>

<u>_________</u>

Now, we'll Multiply by LCM:

$\sf \cfrac{3x-2}{4}\times \:12-\cfrac{2x-5}{3}\times \:12=\cfrac{1+x}{6}\times \:12$

Simplify:

$\sf 3\left(3x-2\right)-4\left(2x-5\right)=2\left(x+1\right)$

Now, expand, Apply the Distributive property:

$\bold{ 3\left(3x-2\right)-4\left(2x-5\right)}$

$\sf 9x-6-8x+20$

Combine like terms:

$\sf x+14$

________

$\bold{ 2\left(x+1\right)}$

$\sf 2x+2$

$\sf x+14=2x+2$

Subtract 14 from both sides:

$\sf x+14-14=2x+2-14$

Simplify:

$\sf x=2x-12$

Subtract 2x from both sides:

$\sf x-2x=2x-12-2x$

Simplify:

$\sf -x=-12$

Divide both sides by -1:

$\sf \cfrac{-x}{-1}=\cfrac{-12}{-1}$

$\sf x=12$

How to solve 4/7y-2 = 3/7 + 3/14

lisabon 2012 [21]

Solution

1) Simplify $\frac{4}{7y}$ <span> to </span> $\frac{4y}{7}$
$\frac{4y}{7}$ <span>−2= </span> $\frac{3}{7}$ + $\frac{3}{14}$

2) Simplify $\frac{3}{7}$ + $\frac{3}{14}$ <span>to <span>914</span>
</span> $\frac{4y}{7}$ <span>−2= </span> $\frac{9}{14}$

3) <span>Add 2 to both sides
</span> $\frac{4y}{7}$ = $\frac{9}{14}$ <span>+2
</span>
4) Simplify $\frac{9}{14
}$ <span><span>+2</span> to </span> $\frac{37}{14}$
$\frac{4y}{7}$ = $\frac{37}{14}$

5) <span>Multiply both sides by 7
</span><span>4y= </span> $\frac{37}{14}$ <span>×7
</span>
6) Simplify $\frac{37}{14}$ <span><span>×7</span> to </span> $\frac{259}{14}$
$\frac{4y}{7}$ = $\frac{259}{14}$

7) Simplify $\frac{259}{14}$ <span> to </span> $\frac{37}{2}$
$\frac{4y}{7}$ = $\frac{37}{2}$

8) <span>Divide both sides by 4
</span>y= $\frac{37}{2}$ <span>×4
</span>
9) <span>Simplify <span>2×4</span> to 8
</span><span>y=</span> $\frac{37}{8}$
<span><span>
Hope this helps
