<span>29+10j= -11
</span><span>29+10j - 29 = -11 - 29 (subtract 29 to both sides)
10j = -40
10j/10 = -40/10 (divide both sides by 10)
j = -4

275=25x+100 is the correct equation for the number of months it will take for wade to save $275
3/4 and 3/8 have to have equal denominators, so multiply 3/4 by 2/2 because it's equal to one, so it doesn't change the value of the fraction, but it makes the denominator (the number on the bottom) bigger.
3/4 x 2/2 = 6/8
Now subtract.
6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8
Don't subtract the denominators.
3/8 can't be simplified.
