He gave away 8 so he would have 12/20 which is 60% left :)
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
For the denominator you are looking for the total number of options, and in this case it is 10. Then for the numerator you are looking for what the question is asking for, in this case, it is looking for letters n to q. n, o, p and q are what you are looking for. With this information you will get 4/10 and simplified, 2/5
I’m thinking your r in the first equation is actually an x.
X + 2(2x -4) =10
X +4x -8 =10
5x = 18
Given equation :
.
Strategy 1: We can cross mutiply both sides remove fraction form.
On cross multiplication, we get
x * 7 = 3 * 42
7x = 126.
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
<h3>
x = 18.</h3>
Strategy 2: We can find least common denominator(lcd) of both sides and multiplying both sides by that lcd to get rid denominators from both sides.
LCD of 42 and 7 is 42.
Therefore, multiplying both sides by 42, we get

x = 6 * 3
<h3>x = 18.</h3>
