Answer:
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
8 + 3x = 29 + 2x
8 + 3x - 2x = 29
8 + x = 29
x = 29 - 8 = 21
x = 21
Answer:
A) 5/6
B) -67/30 (or) -2 7/30
A) -9/2 (or) -4 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 2/3(5)-5/2=3 1/3-5/2 = 10/3-5/2 = 20/6-15/6= 5/6
B) 2/3(2/5)-5/2= 4/15-5/2 = 8/30-75/30 = -67/30
A) 2/3(-3)-5/2=-2-5/2= -4 1/2
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
The entire race is 1 full race.
One full race is 1.
He ran 3/8 of 1, so he ran 3/8.
He needs to run the rest of the race.
The rest is unknown, so we call it x.
When you add 3/8 to the unknown, you get the full race.
The equation is
x + 3/8 = 1
Change 1 to a denominator of 8.
x + 3/8 = 8/8
Subtract 3/8 from both sides.
x = 5/8
Answer: He still needs to run 5/8 of the race.
