Answer:

<u>(a) x = 2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 12 = -8x + 6

First, move all the like terms to one side of the equation. We will move all the x's to the left, and the rest to the right in this equation. (Don't forget to pay attention to the signs of the numbers as you move them over the equal sign.)

x - 12 + 8x = 6

x + 8x = 6 + 12

9x = 18

Next, solve for x by isolating it to one side of the equation. Here, we'll have to divide 18 by 9 (do the opposite of what 9 is doing with x; instead of multiplying it with 18 like it currently is with x, divide 18 by it.)

x = \frac{18}{9}

x = 2

Therefore, your answer is (a), since x = 2.

Ella grew 3 over 4 of an inch last year. Ben grew 2 over 3 of an inch last year. How much more did Ella grow than Ben last year?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Ella grew \frac{1}{12} of an inch more

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you want to subtract Ben's growth from Ella's.

This expression would be \frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}.

To work these out, they must have the same denominator (which should be the lowest common multiple or LCM).

In this case, the LCM is 12, so you want to multiply each side so the denominator is 12. This means the first fraction should be multiplied by \frac{3}{3} and the second by \frac{4}{4}.

This makes the expression \frac{9}{12}-\frac{8}{12}, which equals \frac{1}{12}.
