The answers are x=4 and y=323/2
1) 40/2x-3=8
Multiply both sides by 2x-3 to get rid of fraction
40= 8(2x-3)
Distribute 8
40= 16x-24
Add 24 to both sides
64=16x
Divide by 16
4=x
2) 2y-3/40=8
Multiply both sides by 40 to red rod of fraction
2y-3=320
Add 3 to both sides
2y= 323
Divide by 2
Y=323/2
Now just describe the differences in solving them
FYI / means fraction, right after the slash is bottom of fraction
The correct answer is -3. You just plug 7 into the equation and solve for y
37 and 1/2 could mean:
37+ (1/2)
37 times 1/2
37+1/2=37 and 1/2 or 37.5
37 times 1/2=37/2=18 and 1/2=18.5
