If "4/2/7" is all we have to work with, then PEMDAS rules will save the day. Do the division from left to right.
4/2 becomes 2. Then we have 2/7, a proper fraction. I don't see where an improper fraction would come from in this case.
Answer:
2.5x+0.75y=933
x+y=747
Step-by-step explanation:
x= number of cheese sandwiches
y= number of soft drinks
first equation: 2.5x+0.75y=933
**this is representing the cost of the drinks and sandwiches
second equation: x+y=747
**because x and y are the NUMBER of soft drinks and sandwiches, they both have to toal up to 747.
Answer:
x = 929/126
Step-by-step explanation:
12/19(x-22)=38-6x-3
Combine like terms
12/19(x-22)=35-6x
Multiply each side by 19
19* 12/19(x-22)=19*(35-6x)
12( x-22) = 19*(35-6x)
Distribute
12x - 264 = 665 - 114x
Add 114x to each side
12x +114x - 264 = 665 - 114x+114x
126x -264 = 665
Add 264 to each side
126x-264+264 = 665+264
126x = 929
Divide each side by 126
126x/126 = 929/126
x = 929/126
