Answer:
Okay the question is a little unclear, but if he's only doing english, science and history the answer should be <u> 17/40</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5=8/40
3/8=15/40
8/40+15/40=23/40
40/40-23/40=17/40
-1/2 is bigger than -8/15
3(x+1) = 2(x-8) + 3. First, remove the parentheses by distributing (multiplying out the numbers):
3x + 3 = 2x - 16 + 3.
Then, combine any like terms on the same side of the equals sign;
3x + 3 = 2x -13.
Then, move the like terms on opposite sides of the equals sign to the same side of the equals sign (don't forget to change the signs)..
3x -2x = -13 - 3.
Then combine the like terms on the same side of the equals sign again.. x = -16 .
