20miles increased by 30%=new mileage added
20x.3= 6
6 miles more than his previous distance so...
6+20= 26
NOTE you can also use 1.3 instead of .3 as the percent to get the answer with out addition.
Answer:
P=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−2=5p+3p−8−6p
−2=5p+3p+−8+−6p
−2=(5p+3p+−6p)+(−8)(Combine Like Terms)
−2=2p+−8
−2=2p−8
Step 2: Flip the equation.
2p−8=−2
Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.
2p−8+8=−2+8
2p=6
Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.
2p2=62
p=3
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
So we are subtracting a negative which is the same as adding. Our equation becomes -1/3+1/2. To add fractions we need a common denominator (the denominator of a fraction is the number on the bottom) To fine the least common denominator we need to find the lowest number that both 3 and 2 go into which is 6. Then we will multiply each fraction by the number that will give us 6 for a denominator which is 2 for -1/3 and 3 for 1/2. So -1/3 times 2 is -2/6 and 1/2 times 3 is 3/6. Our equation is now -2/6+3/6. Now we will add the numerators ( the numerator is the number on the top of the fraction) and the denominators stay the same when adding or subtraction fractions -2/6+3/6=1/6
I hope this helps and please let me know if there is anything you are confused about or is still unclear, I will be happy to help!
An equivalent fraction? So.. the fraction has to be equivalent to 3/5, correct?
One question, what do you mean by "tenth-size strip"?
Sorry but this question isn't clear enough.
Sorry :/
