Round and then see what the number you have too add, subtract , multiply, and divide and then you would find the answer
Answer:
If he has 45% of his cheak remaining we already have the remaining so we just to turn it into a fraction
First we put it over 100
<u>45</u>
100
Then we reduce it to the lowest terms
which would be
9/20
(x)(3x - 5) = 12
3x^2 - 5x = 12
3x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
(x - 3)(3x + 4) = 0
x = 3, -4/3
The answer must be negative so the number is -4/3.
Hope this helps!
