Answer:

Firstly, rewrite the equation:

⅓ (18 + 27) = 81

Substitute x for the given number of it's supposed equivalent.

In this case x = 12.

⅓ (18(12) + 27) = 81

Solve using PEMDAS and simplify what is in the parenthesis first. Then, multiply.

(18 x 12) + 27 = 243

Now, solving using PEMDAS, multiply the total of what you got that was originally in the parenthesis by ⅓ .

⅓ (243) = 81

When you multiple these number they are equivalent to 81.

81 = 81

Since the equation given, when substituted x for 12, is equivalent to 81, this proves that substituting x for 12 makes this equation true.

What is the best estimate for 591.3 divided by 29
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

  about 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers round to 600/30 = 20, which is a reasonable estimate.

You can refine this by doing the next step of long division:

  29×20 = 580

Subtracting this from 591.3 give 11.3, so the fraction is ...

  11.3/29 ≈ 10/30 = 1/3

A better estimate is 20 1/3.

_____

A calculator tells you the quotient is about 20.3897.
