1) use distributive property
3x - 6 + 5x + 4
8x - 2
2) 4-2x - 14 - 3
-14 - 2x
Answer:
x = 27/10 or x = 2.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Get rid of the denominator.
LCD of 4 & 3: 12
Multiply both sides by 12.
12 ( 2x - 1 / 4 ) + 12 ( x / 3 ) = 12 (2)
Reduce the numbers.
3 ( 2x - 1) + 4x = 24
Step 2: Distribute.
6x - 3 + 4x = 24
Step 3: Collect like terms.
6x + 4x = 24 + 3 ( - 3, the sign change when moved to the other side)
10x = 27
Step 4: Solve for x.
Multiply both sides by 10.
10x / 10 = 27 / 10 (the 10 cancels out)
x = 27 / 10 or x = 2.7
Answer: x = 27 / 10 or x = 2.7
Answer:
5:36
Step-by-step explanation:
12 inches = 1 foot, so 6 feet = 72 inches
10:72, reduces to 5:36
You have to have the same denominator for both fractions, so I would multiply 3/4 by 3 that would give you 9/12 and the other one is 7/12. This means that the final answer would be 9/12>7/12.
