1. Move 2/x to the left side of proportion by changing sign before it:
3/x - 1 - 2/x = 4
2. Move 1 to the right side of proportion and change it's sign as well:
3/x - 2/x = 4 + 1
3. Sum numerators in the left side of proportion since they have common denominator (x) abd also sum the numbers in the right side too:
(3-2)/x = 5
4. Calculate numerator in the left side of proportion:
1/x = 5
5. Move 1 to the right side of proportion by dividing that side by it:
x = 1/5
This is easier to understand with a picture...
We know that a triangle has 3 sides right?
Well, if the perimeter is 39 and there are 3 sides you would divide 39 by the 3 sides
39/3=13
Therefore, one side of the triangle would equal 13
Answer:
16/45x-11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply across
2/15x-30/40-1/6+2/9x=
Get common denominators of like terms
6/45x+10/45x-9/12-2/12=
Combine like terms
16/45x-11/12
The least possible sum is 6 and 4. If your having problems, write down the factors and choose the pair that adds up the smallest number :)
