In short, we split 54 by (5+4) and give 5 pieces of that quotient to Sam and 4 pieces of it to Brett, 

\bf \cfrac{Sam}{Brett}\qquad 5:4\qquad \cfrac{5}{4}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{5\cdot \frac{54}{5+4}}{4\cdot \frac{54}{5+4}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 6}{4\cdot 6}\implies \cfrac{30}{24}

11+(-3)-1/8j-3/8j+7=<br><br> Will give reward if right
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

J = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

* This is going off of the estimate that the = sign means the equation is = to 0, as there is no value after the equal sign. *

First, start off by adding all of the like numbers.

11 + (-3) + 7 = 8 + 7 = 15

- 1/8 j - 3/8 j  = - 4/8 j.

Combining those two sums, we get:

15 - 4/8 j = 0

Subtract 15 from both sides,

-4/8 j = -15

Simplify -4/8 to -1/2, and then to -0.5

-0.5j = -15

Divide.

-15/-0.5 = 7.5

When you divide a negative number by another negative number, you get a positive. Therefore, the answer is J = 7.5

If the number after the = sign IS NOT 0, then when you get to 15 - 0.5j, just do the steps but with a number that isn't 0.
