$-10x+2=-8x-8$ Combine Like Terms

$-2x+2=-8$ Add $-8x$ on both sides

$-2x=-10$ Subtract $2$ on both side

$x=5$ Divide $-2$ to $-10$

<u><em>*(Answer)*=</em></u> $x=5$

The answer is C: $10\text{ }^1/_2$ . Here are the details:

$\text{Equation:}\\ 6\text{ }^1/_3+10\text{ }^1/_2\stackrel{?}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6\\ \\ \text{Start with the integers.}\\ 6+10=16\stackrel{?}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6\\ \\ \text{...then with the fractions, but rewrite them first to make it easier.}\\ ^1/_3+\text{ }^1/_2\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}\text{ }^2/_6+\text{ }^3/_6=\text{ }^5/_6\stackrel{?}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6\\
\\
\text{Add 'em up!}\\
16\text{ }^5/_6$

$\text{Equation:}\\
16\text{ }^5/_6+3\text{ }^5/_6\stackrel{?}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6\\
\\
\text{Start with the integers.}\\
16+3=19\stackrel{?}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6\\
\\
\text{...then with the fractions, but rewrite them first to make it easier.}\\
^5/_6+\text{ }^5/_6=\text{ }^{10}/_6\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}\text{ }^5/_3\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}1\text{ }^2/_3\stackrel{?}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6\\
\\
\text{Add 'em up!}\\
20\text{ }^2/_3$

$\text{Last equation:}\\ 20\text{ }^2/_3+5\text{ }^1/_2\stackrel{?}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6\\ \\ \text{Start with the integers.}\\ 20+5=25\stackrel{?}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6\\ \\ \text{...then with the fractions, but rewrite them first to make it easier.}\\ ^2/_3+\text{ }^1/_2\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}\text{ }^4/_6+\text{ }^3/_6=\text{ }^7/_6\stackrel{\text{rewrite}}{\to}1\text{ }^1/_6\stackrel{?}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6\\
\\
\text{Add the integer and fraction together.}\\
25+1\text{ }^1/_6\stackrel{?}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6$

$26\text{ }^1/_6\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}26\text{ }^1/_6$

Nikhil gets paid a 5 percent commission on every pair of shoes that he sells. He earned $1.00 on the last pair of shoes that he

BlackZzzverrR [31]

The expression that can be used to represent x is not shown.

x is the price of the shoes

5% commission on every pair of shoes sold. $1.00 is the value of the commission received.

$1/5% = 1 / 0.05 = 20

The price of the shoes is 20.

Three friends each have some ribbon. Carol has 90 inches of ribbon, Tino has 7.5 feet of ribbon, and Baxter has 3.5 yards of rib

erastovalidia [21]

Answer: 306 inches or 25.5 feet or 8.5 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Carol has 90 inches of ribbon, Tino has 7.5 feet of ribbon, and Baxter has 3.5 yards of ribbon.

1 feet = 12 inches

length of ribbon Tino has = 12 x 7.5 = 90 inches

1 yard = 36 inches

length of ribbon Baxter has = 3.5 x 36 = 126 inches
