Answer:
x = 2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal here is to isolate the variable, or to get x by itself. We can do this by using simple math. The first step is to move every thing to the opposite side of x. We do this by subtracting 38 from 60, which leaves us with 22. Now we want divide 22 by 8. After doing this we are left with the equation x = 2.75. I know that at first fractions and decimals seem annoying and they feel like a lot of work. But if you take a second to really look at them, you will realize they are not that bad. As in most cases with math, looks can be deceiving
Answer:
x^3 +x^2 +x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
Your welcome!!!!!!!!!!!
The correct solution is 75.
To first find the answer to this, let's find a common denominator between each fraction. The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction.
To find the common denominator, let's factor out each of our denominators 5 times to see if they have a common number.
4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
They both appear to have the smallest common denominator of 4, so let's use 4.
We already have 1/4 with a denominator of 4, but not 1/2.
2 x 2 = 4, so multiply the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 by 2.
1 x 2 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
Your new fraction is 2/4.
Our expression now is:
-2 1/4 + 5 2/4
or (in simpler terms)
5 2/4 - 2 1/4
Subtract the fractions first.
2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4
Now subtract the whole numbers.
5 - 2 = 3
You are left with:
3 1/4
I hope this helps!
