Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, first combine both fractions on the left

To add 4x-2/8 + 3+x/4 first find the least common denominator of 8 and 4

It's 8 so multiply the numerator and denominator of 3+x/4 by 8, you would get:

8x+24/32

Multiply 4x-2/8 by 4, you will get:

16x-8/32

Now you can add 16x-8/32 + 8x+24/32, you would get:

24x+16/32

Now you can start to solve for x

Your new equation is 24x+16/32 = 1/2

To solve for x, first multiply diagonally, then solve like a regular equation.

Multiply 24x+16 by 2 to get 48x+32

Then multiply 32 by 1 to get 32

Your new equation is 48x+32=32

Now subtract 32 by 32 to get 48x=0

Now divide 48 by 0 to get x=0

Answer:

we can translate the problem into two equations. The first statement is translated to x + y = 10 where x represents the amount of cashews in the mix while y represents the amount of peanuts in the mixture. In this case, the second equation is translated to 5.60x + 2.30 y = 3.29*10. solving the two equations simultaneously, x is equal to 3 pounds while y is equal to 7 pounds

What number is less than -2 4/5 and greater than -31/5

IgorC [24]

Using a calculator, you should find that

-2 & 4/5 = -(2 + 4/5) = -(2+0.8) = -2.8

-31/5 = -6.2

So the unknown number is between -6.2 and -2.8

<h3>Possible whole number answers could be: -6, -5, -4, -3, or -2</h3>
