What would the answer be for this equation 7x/20 - 5x/12

Mathematics
1 answer:
polet [3.4K]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

\frac{1}{15} x

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{7x}{20}  -  \frac{5x}{12}

\frac{3 \times 7x}{3 \times 20}  -  \frac{5 \times 5x}{5 \times 12}

\frac{21x}{60}  -  \frac{25x}{60}

\frac{21x - 25x}{60}  = (21 - 25)x =  - 4x

\frac{ - 4x}{60}  =  -  \frac{ x}{15}

\boxed{\green{=  \frac{1}{15} x}}

What are the possible steps involved in solving the equation shown? Select three options. 3.5 + 1.2(6.3 – 7x) = 9.38 Add 3.5 and
motikmotik

Answer:

1) Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and -7x

2)Combine 3.5 and 7.56

3)Subtract 11.06 from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5 + 1.2(6.3 - 7x) = 9.38

Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and -7x

3.5 + 1.2* 6.3 - 1.2 * 7x = 9.38

        3.5 + 7.56 - 8.4x = 9.38

Combine 3.5 and 7.56

11.06 - 8.4x = 9.38

Subtract 11.06 from both sides

11.06 - 8.4x -11.06 = 9.38 - 11.06

                    -8.4x = -1.68

To find solution:

Divide both sides by (-8.4)

-8.4x/-8.4 = -1.68/-8.4

 x = 0.02

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 8*2x, 8*-14+13=4x-27

16x-112+13=4x-27

16x-99=4x-27

-4x        -4x

12x-99=-27

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is the first option:  

y=-4x+64

<h2>Why?</h2>

To write the equation of the line in slope-interception  form we need to extract all the information that we need from the graphic.

We must remember that the slope-interception form of the lines is:

y=mx+b

Where,

y, is the function

m, is the slope of the line

x, is the variable

b, is the y-axis intercept

We can find the slope using the following formula:

m=\frac{ChangeInY}{ChangeInX}

Which is for this case:

m=\frac{64}{16}=4

As we can see from the graphic, the line is decresing, so the sign of the slope "m" will be negative, so:

m=-4

We can find the value of "b" seeing where the line intercepts the y-axis.

As we can see it intercept the y-axis at:  y=64

Then, now that we already know the value of "m" and "b", we can write the equation of the line:

y=mx+b=-4x+64\\y=-4x+64

So, the correct option is the first option:

y=-4x+64

Have a nice day!

Tegan bought 1 1/6 metres of ribbon. She needs 2/5 metres to wrap her brothers present and 3/4 metres to wrap her sisters presen
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 + 3/4 = [2(4) + 3(5)]/20

= 23/20 = 1 3/20

1 3/20 = 1 9/60

1 1/6 = 1 10/60

1 1/6 > 1 3/20
