Which is less, 2/5 or 4/5?
I'll use a cake for explanation.
Suppose we have a cake, and one of your companions, Mary, is hungry, so she takes 2/5 of one cake. Then, your other friend, Bella, takes 4/5 of the cake.
Then you compare the cakes. Who has less, Mary or Bella?
That's right, Mary.
So 2/5 is less than 4/5.
<h3>Good luck.</h3>

First you want to combine like terms. on the first equation we can combine 2x+x=3x. So now we have 3x-3. On the right side we can combine 12+1 so we now have -x+13. Now we will take add an x to -x so it's 0 but we have to do it to the other side as well so now we have 4x-3=13. now we will add three to -3 to make it 0 but again we have to do it to the other side. Now we have 4x=16. We want to figure out what x is so we now divide 4x by 4 so we are just left with x but we need to do it to the other side so your answer is x=4
Note that 5x appears on both sides of this equation. Delete 5x from each side. This leaves us with 3x = 15/2. Dividing both sides by 3 results in x = 5/2 (ans)
Answer:
b
