Answer:
14 3/8 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
6 pounds plus 8 pounds= 14 pounds. 1/4 + 1/8= 3/8. 1/4 can be turned into 2/8, and 2/8 plus 1/8 equals 3/8. Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
interchange x and y
y= 1/(x - 2)
x = 1 / (y - 2) Multiply both sides by y - 2
x(y - 2) = 1 Remove the brackets
xy - 2x = 1 Add x to both sides
xy = 1 + 2x Divide by x
y = (1 + 2x)/x
The brackets have been destroyed. The answer is as I've given it.
y = (1/x) + 2
1/18 as a decimal is 0.055555555555556 because you divide one by eighteen and get that number.
Hope this helped!
You can simply collect terms, subtract the constant and divide by the x-coefficient. It is generally considered easier to do those steps if you eliminate fractions first (multiply by 12).
Multiply by 12
... 4(x -1) +3(x +5) = 6
... 4x -4 +3x +15 = 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 7x +11 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .collect terms
... 7x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the constant 11
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

Here it is the other way.
... x(1/3 +1/4) +(-1/3 +5/4) = 1/2
... (7/12)x + 11/12 = 1/2 . . add the fractions to finish collecting terms
... x + 11/7 = 6/7 . . . . . . . multiply by 12/7
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11/7
At the third step here, you could subtract 11/12 before doing the multiply. You get the same answer, but you have to do the extra conversion of 1/2=6/12.
