Answer:

$\frac{(x - 4)}{(2x + 1)} - 3$ $=$ $\frac{-7x- 7}{3x + 1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{(x - 4)}{(2x + 1)} - 3$

Required

Solve

Express 3 as a fraction

$\frac{(x - 4)}{(2x + 1)} - \frac{3}{1}$

Take LCM

$\frac{x - 4 - 3(2x + 1)}{3x + 1}$

$\frac{x - 4 - 6x - 3}{3x + 1}$

Collect Like Terms

$\frac{x - 6x- 4 - 3}{3x + 1}$

Simplify like terms

$\frac{-7x- 7}{3x + 1}$

Hence:

$\frac{(x - 4)}{(2x + 1)} - 3$ $=$ $\frac{-7x- 7}{3x + 1}$

Mrs. Nevin is making a costume for a school play. She needs a piece of fabric that is greater than 1/2 of a yard but less than 5

Bumek [7]

Answer:

4/7 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Required fabric is > 1/2 but < 5/8

Let required fabric = x

Then ;

Converting the fractions to decimal :

1/2 = 0.5 ; 5/8 = 0.625

0.5 < x < 0.625

3/8 yards = 0.375 ;

4/7 yards = 0.571

3/7 yards = 0.429

2/4 yards = 0.5

0.5 < 0.571 < 0.625

From the options, only 4/7 yards satisfies the condition :

pickupchik [31]

Okay the answer is r=47
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.5+44=2+r
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.5+44=2+r
Simplify:49=r+2
Step 2: Flip the equation.r+2=49
Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.r+2−2=49−2r=47
Answer:r=47
Hope this helps!:)
