Answer:
4/12 or 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
there is a fraction of 4 hours in the 12 hours, so 4/12.
That can be simplified to 1/3.
Answer:
x=45
Step-by-step explanation:
Then,
x/5(15)-47=28
Step 1: Simplify the equation on both sides
x/9(15)-47=28
5/3x-47=28
Step 2: Add 47 to both sides
5/3x-47+47=28+47
5/3x=75
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/5
(3/5)*(5/3x)=(3/5)*(75)
x=45
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Eliminate parentheses:
0.1x +18.8 = -4 +2x
22.8 = 1.9x . . . . . . . . . add 4 - 0.1x
12 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.9
__
2) Eliminate parentheses:
-16 +4x = 0.8x +12.8
3.2x = 28.8 . . . . . . . . add 16 - 0.8x
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3.2

<em>Comments on the solutions</em>
The expression we add in each case eliminates the constant on one side of the equation and the variable term on the other side. That leaves an equation of the form ...
variable term = constant
We choose to eliminate the smaller variable term (the one with the coefficient farthest to the left on the number line). Then the constant we eliminate is the on on the other side of the equation. This choice ensures that the remaining variable term has a positive coefficient, tending to reduce errors.

You can work these problems by methods that eliminate fractions. Here, the fractions are decimal values, so are not that difficult to deal with. In any event, it is good to be able to work with numbers in any form: fractions, decimals, integers. It can save some steps.
↝ Form into 
where a > 0 (Optional)
↝ Multiply -1 for both sides.
↝ Then proceed with the Quadratic Formula.
x = [-b ± (√b²-4ac)]/2a ↝ Quadratic Formula
↝ As you can see that inside the square root, the numbers cannot be negative. Therefore, the solutions are imaginary.
↝ Solution with Real Numbers System ↝ There are no real solutions.
↝ Solution with Complex Number System ↝
Therefore, the answer for Complex Number System is (5±√7i)/2
