Answer:

28 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From this, you already know that 2/7 of x is equal to 8 pounds (x being the actual weight of the package). the equation would be 2/7(x)=8 to simplify this, you divide both sides by 2/7. x=8/2/7. this is the same as x=8*7/2 which is x=56/2. so your finale answer is 28 because 56/2 is 28!

When 2(3/5 x + 2/3 y - 1/4 x -1 1/2 y + 3 )is simplified, what is the resulting expression?

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Simplifying the expression: $2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$ we get $\mathbf{42x-100y-360}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the expression: $2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$

First we will solve terms inside the bracket

$2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$

Converting mixed fraction $1\frac{1}{2} y$ into improper fraction, we get: $\frac{3}{2}y$

Replacing the term:

$2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{2}y +3)$

Now, taking LCM of: 5,3,4,2 we get 60

Now multiply 60 with each term inside the bracket

$2(\frac{3}{5}x\times60+\frac{2}{3}y\times60-\frac{1}{4}x\times60-\frac{3}{2}y\times60 +3\times60)\\2(3x\times12+2y\times20-1x\times15-3x\times30-3\times60)\\2(36x+40y-15x-90y-180)$

Now, combine like terms

$2(36x-15x-90y+40y-180)\\2(21x-50y-180)$

Now, multiply all terms with 2

$42x-100y-360$

So, Simplifying the expression: $2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)$ we get $\mathbf{42x-100y-360}$
