Alright, first thing's first, simplify the equation as much as you can. If you wanted, I suppose you could just multiply everything by 40, but that's super unconventional.
7x/8 - 3x/8 = 1/5 + 3/10
Simplify:
4x/8 = 1/5 + 3/10
Make sure that when subtracting or adding fractions that the denominators (The number on the bottom of the fraction) are equal.
In order to add 1/5 and 3/10 together, all we have to do is ensure that both denominators are equal.
To do this, simply multiply 1/5 by 2/2. The new fraction will be 2/10 (You can do this since it's the exact same fraction, 2/10 will simplify down to 1/5. The reason we did this was to make sure that the two fractions had equal denominators).
Our equation now looks like this:
4x/8 = 2/10 + 3/10
Add the fractions on the right:
4x/8 = 5/10
Huh, whaddya know? Both the fraction on the left and the right can be simplified into 1/2! (4/8 becomes 1/2, and 5/10 becomes 1/2)
1x/2 = 1/2
x/2 = 1/2
If you want to, I suppose you could cross multiply to check, but the answer's already pretty obvious.
x = 1
Good luck! If you need me to explain anything I did here, just ask :))

Answer:
3x-y=15 should be the answer
Answer:
99°
Step-by-step explanation:
- m∠VUT = 10x + 9
- m∠BUT = 7x - 1
- m∠VUB = 37°
- m∠VUT = ?
<u>We see that</u>
- m∠VUT = m∠BUT + m∠VUT
- 10x + 9 = 7x - 1 + 37
- 10x - 7x = 36 - 9
- 3x = 27
- x = 9
<u>Angle VUT measures:</u>
Answer:
Multiple the first equation by -1
Step-by-step explanation:
After doing this you add the two equations together and follow the systems of equations as normal
Therefore y = 2
