make them both fractions with the same bottom number

3-7/8 = 31/8

2-1/4 = 9/4 ( need to multiply by 2 to make it match ) so it becomes 18/8

now subtract 2 top numbers 31-18 = 13 so now you have 13/8

8/8=1 so 13-8 = 5 so the answer will be 1 and 5/8

Deanna has $150.00 in her account.At the end of each week, she plans to take $15.00 out of her account for her spending money. W

AlexFokin [52]

Let the balance = Y and the number of weeks = x

She takes out 15 per week, so multiply 15 by x ( the number of weeks) to get 15x.

You would then want to subtract that from the amount she started with in her account.

The equation becomes: Y = 150 - 15x

If the<br> average (arithmetic<br> mean) of 2, 7, and x is 12,<br> what is the value of x?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

mean is calculated as

mean = $\frac{sum}{count}$

sum = 2 + 7 + x = 9 + x and count = 3 , then

$\frac{9+x}{3}$ = 12 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

9 + x = 36 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 27
