Multiply the numerators together and the denominators to get the ending fraction.
Ex: 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/16, and simplify if needed.
1) -3x -3 -7x = 17
• start by grouping so add -3x and -7x which gives you -10x
• 10x -3 (+3) = 17 +3 = 20 add 3 on both sides)
• 10x (/10) = 20/ 10 = 2
1) x = 2
2) 10x -6 (+6) = 24 + 6 = 30
• 10x (/10) = 30/ 10 = 3
2) x = 3
3) -4 (+4) -5x = -39 +4 = -35
• -5x (/-5) = -35/ -5 = 7
3) x = 7
4) 3x - 5 > 10
this one i don’t understand, is there a typo maybe ?
5) -5x + x + 16 = -3 you can put a 1 to hold the place of x to make it 1x
• (-5x + 1x) + 16 = -3
• -4x + 16 (-16) = -3 -16 = -19
• -4x (/-4) = -19/ -4 = 4.75 or 4 3/4
5) x = 4.75
Mx - y
5 times 3 - 8
15 - 8
=
7
