Let's say you had a cake that is cut into 5 equal slices. Then someone eats 2 of those slices. They ate 2/5 of the cake.
Now let's say you have another cake that you cut into 10 equal slices. If someone eats 4 of those ten, then they have eaten 4/10 = 2/5 of the cake.
Check out the diagram below to see a visual of how 4/10 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.
Going from 2/5 to 4/10 has us multiply top and bottom by 2.
-----------
Similarly, 1/2 = 5/10 after multiplying top and bottom by 10
The original expression 2/5 + 1/2 turns into 4/10 + 5/10
Then you add the numerators to get 4+5 = 9, placing that over the common denominator of 10
<h3>Answer: 9/10</h3>
Given that quadrilateral QRST is a square.
Each angle of a square is of 90 degrees.
Angle <RQT is also an angle of 90 degrees.
We also given angle RQT = 3x - 6.
So, we can setup an equation as 3x-6 =90.
Now, we need to solve the equation for x.
6 is being subtracted from left side.
We always apply reverse operation. Reverse operation of subtraction is addition.
So, adding 6 on both sides of the equation, we get
3x-6+6 =90+6.
3x = 96.
3 is being multipied with x, in order to remove that 3, we need to apply reverse operation of multiplication.
So, dividing both sides by 3.

x=32 (final answer).
