Answer:

The number is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 2 = 88

Add 2 to each side:

6x = 90

Divide each side by 6:

x = 15

Substitute to check:

6 ( 15 ) - 2 = 88

90 - 2 = 88

88 = 88

Answer:

4 (5/12). four and five-twelfths

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 is the same as 2/4, so: 1 1/2 = 1 2/4

1 2/4 + 2 1/4 = 3 3/4

3/4 and 2/3 have a LCM or least common multiple of 12

4 x 3 = 12 and 3 x 4 =12; but whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top (3/4) turns into (9/12) and (2/3) turns into (8/12)

9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12 or 1 5/12 as a mixed number

3 + 1 5/12 = 4 5/12
