Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
So first you add 27 and 8, which is 35.
If he sold 1/35 to a used store than he actually only sold 1.
To solve it with mathmatically you would do. (1/35)×(35)=1.
5 2/3 is the answer to your question
6x+1 / 2x +6 - 5/2
Factor 2 out of the denominator of the first fraction:
6x+1 / 2(x+3) - 5/2
Rewrite 5/2 to have a common denominator with the first fraction:
6x+1/2(x+3) - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Simplify terms:
6x +1 - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Use distributive property:
6x +1 - 5x -15 / 2(x+3)
Combine like terms for final answer:
(x-14) / 2(x+3)
4y+x= -1
-x -x
—————
4y=-x-1

4 4
=======
Y= -1/4x - 1/4
