So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.
First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.
So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x.
Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.
Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.
Answer:
Given statement is TRUE.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that line segment JK and LM are parallel. From picture we see that LK is transversal line.
We know that corresponding angles formed by transversal line are congruent.
Hence ∠JKL = ∠ MLK ...(i)
Now consider triangles JKL and MLK
JK = LM {Given}
∠JKL = ∠ MLK { Using (i) }
KL = KL {common sides}
Hence by SAS property of congruency of triangles, ΔJKL and ΔMLK are congruent.
Hence given statement is TRUE.
Here, as I can see, you are adding fractions, and making sure you have a common denominator.
12) is correct
13) is correct
You got a common denominator, and added them up! Great job! <span />
All you have to do is combine 3x and 5x to = 8x. You can't combine 8x and 67y because they have different variables. so it's 8x+67y.
367.5, there are 367.5 8's in 2,940.
