Get the x variable on one side and the numbers another side.
9/10(x + 2/3) = 4 1/2
Distribute the 9/10 across the x and 2/3.
(9/10)x + 18/30 = 4 1/2
Simplify 18/30 to make our life easier.
(9/10)x + 3/5 = 4 1/2
Subtract 3/5 from each side of the equation.
(9/10)x = 3 9/10
Divide both sides by 9/10.
x = 4 1/3
First, let's fine the decimal of each fraction.
-5 Divided By 6 = -0.83333333333
17 Divided By 18 = 0.94444444444
-2 Divided By 9 = -0.22222222222
-5/6 - 17/18 - (-2/9) = -1.55555555556
Answer:
Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 300. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 300. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:
(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 300
To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:
X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 300
3X + 3 = 300
3X + 3 - 3 = 300 - 3
3X = 297
3X/3 = 297/3
X = 99
Which means that the first number is 99, the second number is 99 + 1 and the third number is 99 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 300 are 99, 100, and 101.
99 + 100 + 101 = 300
We know our answer is correct because 99 + 100 + 101 equals 300 as displayed above.
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x+13=16
Move +13 to the other side. Sign changes from +13 to -13.
-3x+13-13=16-13
-3x=16-13
-3x=3
Divide by -3 for both sides.
-3/-3x=3/-3
Cross out -3 and -3, divide by -3, then becomes 1*1*x=x
x=-1
Answer: x=-1
