Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Add similar elements: -5x+3x=-2x
-2x+15=-3
Subtract 15 from both sides
-2x + 15-15=-3-15
Simplify
-2x=-18
Divide both sides by -2
-21/-2 = -18/-2
Simplify
x=9

Answer:
If your weekly allowance is 5, then for Christmas week your allowance was 15, then your allowance went up by: 5 =3 - 1 = 2 x 100 =200%.
The problem deals with fractions comparison, lets do it:
21/30 > 2/3
we begin solving:
21 > (2/3)*30
21 > 2*10
<span>21 > 20
</span>therefore the proposed inequality is true, <span>21/30 > 2/3
You can solve as well getting same denominator for both fractions and comparing directly, in this case we need to get 2/3 to be divided by 30:
2/3 = (10/10)(2/3) = 20/30
So we have:
</span><span>21/30 > 2/3
</span>which is equal to:
<span>21/30 > 20/30
</span>and we compare directly because both fractions are divided by the same number, and we can see that the inequality is true.
First,you do,2/5+2/3,but since you will need a common denominator,you will find the least common denominator for 5 and 3.The LCD(Least Common Denominator) will be 15 since both 5 and 3 could go in 15.Now,the equation looks like this: 2/15+2/15 since whatever you do to the bottom numbers,you NEED to do to the top numbers:2 and 2.Now you will need to do,2x3,since 5x3=15 and the answer to 2x3=6 then you do 2x5,since 3x5=15 the answer is 10 now the equation looks like this:6/15+10/15 now you add them together,and the answer will be 16/15 and if you want the answer to be a mixed number,it would look like this: 1 1/15. Hope this helps!
