Lets write the problem info into an equation and solve step by step:
7(1/3 + 4/5)
the minimum common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15, so we multiply and divide the fractions by a proper number to convert them to be divided by 15 so is easier to add them:
<span>(1/3)(5/5) = (1*5)/(3*5) = 5/15
(4/5)(3/3) = (4*3)/(5*3) = 12/15
</span>so we substitute in the original equation:
7(1/3 + 4/5<span>)
</span>= 7(5/15 + 12/15<span>)
= 7(17/15)
= (7*17)/15
= 119/15</span>
Answer:
x=10, y = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
y = –5x + 30
x = 10
Substitute the second equation into the first
y = –5*10 + 30
y = -50 +30
y = -20
x=10, y = -20

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Where x represents the previous year's salary, its amount this year is said to be ...
x + 2000
The equation is trying to reflect the fact that 7% of that is $3,290. The missing number is 2000:
0.07(x +2000) = 3290
__
Solving for x, we find ...
x = (3290/0.07) -2000 = 45000
Sandra's salary the previous year was $45,000.
