(6 • 2 - 2x + 16) + (4 • 2 + 7x - 55)
(-2x + 16 + 6 • 2) + (7x - 55 + 4 • 2)
(-2x + 16 + 12) + (7x - 55 + 8)
-2x + 28 + 7x - 47
-2x + 7x + 28 - 47
5x + (-19)
5x - 19
So the answer is 5x - 19.
1/3+2/9=1/6x-4/6
3/9+2/9=1/6x-4/6
5/9=1/9x-4/6
5=x-6
x=11
Divide 5/8 by 150, to see how thick each is, that'll give you 150 even pieces that add up to 5/8
