Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, M is between S and T.

Therefore, SM + MT = ST

9x- 8 + 2x + 3 = 72

11x - 5 = 72

11x = 72 + 5

11x = 77

x = 77/11

x = 7

What is the answer to this

$4 \dfrac{3}{5} \times \dfrac{5}{12} =$

$= \dfrac{23}{5} \times \dfrac{5}{12}$

You changed the mixed numeral into a fraction correctly.
Now you need to multiply the fractions.
Multiply the numerators together, and multiply the denominators together.

$= \dfrac{23 \times 5}{5 \times 12}$

Now we could multiply out the numerator and denominator, and then we'd need to reduce the fraction, but before we multiply, we see there is a factor of 5 both in the numerator and in the denominator, so we can reduce before we multiply.

$= \dfrac{23 \times 5}{12 \times 5}$

$= \dfrac{23}{12}$

$= 1 \dfrac{11}{12}$
