Thanks for posting your question here. The answer to the above problem is x = <span>48.125. Below is the solution:
</span>
x+x/7+1/11(x+x/7)=60
x = x/1 = x • 7/7
x <span>• 7 + x/ 7 = 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>x + x/7 + 1/11 <span>• 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>8x <span>• 11 + 8x/ 77 = 96x/ 77
</span>96x - 4620 = 12 <span>• (8x-385)
</span>8x - 385 = 0
x = 48.125
Answer:
- c = -4.5
- z = 20
- x = -12
- a = -4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
A way to do this that will always work is ...
- eliminate parenthses and collect terms
- subtract any constants from the left side
- subtract any variable terms from the right side
- divide by the coefficient of the variable
1.
- 8c -11 -6c = -2
- 2c -11 = -2
- 2c = 9
- c = 4.5
2.
- 3z +4 -2z -9 = 15
- z -5 = 15
- z = 20
3.
- 12 -4x +18 = 36 +4x +18 -6x
- 30 -4x = 54 -2x
- -4x = 24 -2x
- -2x = 24
- x = -12
4.
- 36a -9a -5 = 6a -17
- 27a -5 = 6a -17
- 27a = 6a -12
- 21a = -12
- a = -12/21 = -4/7
The answer is 48/100. As it is out of 100.
The greates amount of pieces he would be able to use would be 9 because 8 divided by 5/6= 9 and 3/5.the 3/5 piece is too short.
