Simplify the following:
(3 + 1/3)/(2 + 2/5)
Put 2 + 2/5 over the common denominator 5. 2 + 2/5 = (5×2)/5 + 2/5:
(3 + 1/3)/((5×2)/5 + 2/5)
5×2 = 10:
(3 + 1/3)/(10/5 + 2/5)
10/5 + 2/5 = (10 + 2)/5:
(3 + 1/3)/((10 + 2)/5)
10 + 2 = 12:
(3 + 1/3)/(12/5)
Put 3 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 3 + 1/3 = (3×3)/3 + 1/3:
((3×3)/3 + 1/3)/(12/5)
3×3 = 9:
(9/3 + 1/3)/(12/5)
9/3 + 1/3 = (9 + 1)/3:
((9 + 1)/3)/(12/5)
9 + 1 = 10:
(10/3)/(12/5)
Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, (10/3)/(12/5) = 10/3×5/12:
(10×5)/(3×12)
The gcd of 10 and 12 is 2, so (10×5)/(3×12) = ((2×5) 5)/(3 (2×6)) = 2/2×(5×5)/(3×6) = (5×5)/(3×6):
(5×5)/(3×6)
3×6 = 18:
(5×5)/18
5×5 = 25:
Answer: 25/18
Answer: x = 1.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by Identifying what you need to keep, in this case that would be X. In order to solve for x, you would need to get rid of any co-efficients. (example: +1.1) To get rid of them, you have to do the opposite action of what it's doing to the equation. (subtraction)
1.1- (-2.1) = 3.2 (if you subtract a negative, it turns positive/ you add) leaving you with x/2 = 3.2.
Now that we have our coefficient out the way, we have to get rid of the division so we can <u>only</u> solve for x. We do that by dividing the remainder of the equation by 2
3.2/2 = 1.6
Leaving us with the answer, x = 1.6
