This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
Simplify 1/3b to b/3
b/3 = -3
multiply both sides by 3
b = -3 * 3
multiply 3 * 3 so it can = 9
Answer: b = -9
Answer:
7/12.
Step-by-step explanation:
=x/x+5.
x-5/x+5+4=⅛
x-5/x+9=⅛
x-5=⅛(x+9)
x-5=⅛x+1⅛
x-⅛x=1⅛+5
⅞x=49/8
7x=49
x=7
thus the initial fraction is x/x+5= <u>7</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>2</u>
A rational number is a fraction
Answer:
800 mm or 80 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Jessica is measuring two line segments.
Length of first line segment =30 cm
Length of second line segment=300 mm
We have to find that Length of two line segments together
We know that 1 cm =10 mm
Length of firs line segment =
Length of two line segments together=500+300=800 mm=
Hence, the length of two line segments together=800 mm=80 cm
