You do 5 times x and -2 so you’d get 5x-10=7. Then add 10 to both sides to get 5x=17 and divide 17/5 to get 3.4
The correct order would be:
5/64 x 3, 1/16 x 3, 3/32 x 4, 11/64 x 4, 7/16 x 3, 3/4 x 2, 3/8 x 4, 1 7/8 x 4, 2.25 x 2, 1.5 x 4, 3 3/8 x 3, 3.75 x 3
First we have to take all of the numbers and do the multiplication. It's often easiest to turn them in to decimals so that you have a common form.
3/32 x 4 = 3/8 = .375
3/4 x 2 = 3/2 = 1.5
1 7/8 x 4 = 15/4 = 3.75
2.25 x 2 = 4.5
1.5 x 4 = 6
3/8 x 4 = 3/2 = 1.5
5/64 x 3 = 5/32 = .156
3.75 x 3 = 11.25
1/16 x 3 = 3/16 = .1875
7/16 x 3 = 21/16 = 1.31
3 3/8 x 3 = 81/8 = 10.125
11/64 x 4 = 11/16 = .687
Now we can use those to put in order.
5/64 x 3 = 5/32 = .156
1/16 x 3 = 3/16 = .1875
3/32 x 4 = 3/8 = .375
11/64 x 4 = 11/16 = .687
7/16 x 3 = 21/16 = 1.31
3/4 x 2 = 3/2 = 1.5
3/8 x 4 = 3/2 = 1.5
1 7/8 x 4 = 15/4 = 3.75
2.25 x 2 = 4.5
1.5 x 4 = 6
3 3/8 x 3 = 81/8 = 10.125
3.75 x 3 = 11.25

Answer: 10 dimes
Solve using system of equations.
q=number of quarters and d=number of dimes
.25q+.10d=5.50 because the total of dimes and quarters is $5.50
8+d=q because there are 8 more quarters than dimes
substitute 8+d for q into the first equation to get .25(8+d)+.10d=5.50
then simplify
2+.35d=5.50
.35d=3.50
d=10 he has 10 dimes
You know that there are 25 people and each person had 36 carrots. To find how many carrots everyone has in total, you have to multiply 25 by 36.
25 times 36 is 900.
There are 900 carrots altogether.
