Answer:
-1/8 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) 1st we have to take 1/2x and make the bottom number 4. so we multiply by 2 and you should get 2/4.
2.) so now the equation should be 3/4x + 5 -2/4x = 3. now you take 3/4x and -2/4x and subtract them and you should get 1/4x.
3.) now the equation should look like 1/4x + 5 = 3. now we need to get all whole numbers to one side. so we will subtract 5 from 5 and that will cancel it out and we need to do that to both sides. so we will subtract 5 from 3 and you will get -2.
4.) now the equation should look like 1/4x = -2. now you put a 1 under the 2 to make it a fraction. it should look like 2/1 and then you are going to flip it because that is how you divide fractions. so now your equation should look like 1/4x = 1/2. now you multiply strait across both bottom and top. and you will get x = -1/8 and that is your answer.
hope this helped!
p.s it would be cool if you gave me brainliest.
If you
Let x to be the total number of pages in a book,
then 1/3x = 117
because 117 = 1/3 of a book
X^2 - 8x-9=0
D = b^2- 4*a*c = 64- 4* (-9) = 64+36=100 =10^2
X1 = (8-10)/2 = -1
X2= (8+10)/2= 9
