Answer:

1. Solving \frac{1}{3}(2x-1)-\frac{1}{4}(2x+1)=\frac{1}{12}(2-x) we get x=3

2. Solving \frac{x-2}{4}+\frac{2x-1}{4}=x-\frac{1}{2} we get x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equations:

1. \frac{1}{3}(2x-1)-\frac{1}{4}(2x+1)=\frac{1}{12}(2-x)

Expanding the brackets

\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{1}{3} -\frac{2x}{4}-\frac{1}{4} =\frac{2}{12}-\frac{x}{12} \\\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{1}{3} -\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{6}-\frac{x}{12}

Taking LCM on left side we get 12

\frac{2x*4-1*4-x*6-1*3}{12}= \frac{1}{6}-\frac{x}{12}\\\frac{8x-4-6x-3}{12}= \frac{1}{6}-\frac{x}{12}\\\frac{8x-6x-3-4}{12}= \frac{1}{6}-\frac{x}{12}\\\frac{2x-7}{12}= \frac{1}{6}-\frac{x}{12}\\\frac{2x}{12}-\frac{7}{12}=  \frac{1}{6}-\frac{x}{12}

Add 7/12 on both sides

\frac{2x}{12}-\frac{7}{12}+\frac{7}{12} =  \frac{1}{6}-\frac{x}{12}+\frac{7}{12}\\\frac{x}{6}=\frac{1*2-x+7}{12}\\ \frac{x}{6}=\frac{-x+9}{12}  \\\frac{x}{6}=-\frac{x}{12} +\frac{9}{12}\\  \frac{x}{6}=-\frac{x}{12} +\frac{3}{4}

Adding x/12 on both sides and simplifying

\frac{x}{6}+\frac{x}{12} =-\frac{x}{12} +\frac{3}{4}+\frac{x}{12}\\\frac{x*2+x}{12}=\frac{3}{4}\\\frac{3x}{12}= \frac{3}{4}\\

Multiply both sides by 12/3

\frac{3x}{12}*\frac{12}{3}=\frac{3}{4}*\frac{12}{3}  \\Simplifying:\\x=3

So, solving \frac{1}{3}(2x-1)-\frac{1}{4}(2x+1)=\frac{1}{12}(2-x) we get x=3

2. \frac{x-2}{4}+\frac{2x-1}{4}=x-\frac{1}{2}

Taking LCM and solving:

\frac{x-2+2x-1}{4}=\frac{2x-1}{2}\\\frac{x+2x-1-2}{4}=\frac{2x-1}{2}\\\frac{3x-3}{4}=\frac{2x-1}{2}\\

Cross multiplying

2(3x-3)=4(2x-1)\\6x-6=8x-4\\Combining\ like\ terms \ :\\6x-8x=-4+6\\-2x=2\\x=-1

So, solving \frac{x-2}{4}+\frac{2x-1}{4}=x-\frac{1}{2} we get x=-1

Bath and 1 yard of ribbon. She is 1/2 yard for project. She wants to divide the rest of the ribbon into pieces 1/4 yards long. H
ikadub [295]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total length of ribbon = 1 yard

Length of ribbon used for project = \frac{1}{2} yard

Length of ribbon the rest of ribbon is to be divided = \frac{1}{4} yard

To find:

The number of ribbons of length \frac{1}{4} yard that can be made = ?

Solution:

Length of ribbon left after the 1 yard ribbon is used for project can be calculated by subtracting the length of ribbon used from the initial length of ribbon.

i.e.

Length of ribbon left = 1-\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{2} yard

Now, number of ribbon of length \frac{1}{4} yard can be found be dividing the length of ribbon left with the length of ribbon pieces to be cut.

i.e.

Number of ribbons:

\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{4}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4 = 2
