Answer:
No, it's not
Step-by-step explanation:
So the formula is
7*(1/3+1/5) = x
First find the common denominator of the fractions. In this case the common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15 so we must convert them to 15ths. To do that we divide 15 by the denominator and take that answer and multiply the numerator by it.
So for 1/3 we take 15/3(denominator) = 5 and multiply the numerator (1) by it
5 * 1 = 5 so 1/3 converts to 5/15
Do the same for 1/5 we take 15/5 = 3 and multiply the numerator (4) by it
3*4 = 12 so 4/5 converts to 12/15
Now we add 5/15 and 12/15 = 17/15 so we have our formula now to
7*17/15
We make seven a fraction 7/1 and multiply across 7*17 = 119 and 15 * 1 = 15
We have 119/15 which when we divide and get 7 14/15 as your answer

General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
<u>Algebra I</u>
- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>
5x - 2y = 9
3x + 4y = -5
<u>Step 2: Rewrite systems</u>
10x - 4y = 18
3x + 4y = -5
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Add to equations together: 13x = 13
- Divide 13 on both sides: x = 1
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define: 3x + 4y = -5
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(1) + 4y = -5
- Multiply: 3 + 4y = -5
- Isolate <em>y </em>term: 4y = -8
- Isolate <em>y</em>: y = -2
And we have our final answer!
