Answer:
it's the second option
Step-by-step explanation:
let me know if it's right or wrong
Yes, because the mixed numbers could be a negative number like -1 1/2 plus -2 1/2 which would be -4 and -4 is less than one.
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
x=6/7.
Explanation:
First we find the general form by solving for x:
a-bx = cx+d
Subtract a from each side:
a-bx-a = cx+d-a
-bx = cx+d-a
Subtract cx from each side:
-bx-cx = cx+d-a
-bx-cx = d-a
We can divide both sides by -1:
(-bx-cx)/-1 = (d-a)/-1
bx+cx = -d+a
bx+cx = a-d
Factor out an x on the left:
x(b+c) = a-d
Divide both sides by (b+c):
(x(b+c))/(b+c) = (a-d)/(b+c)
x = (a-d)/(b+c)
In this equation, a = 5, b = 6, c = 8 and d = 17:
x = (5-17)/(6+8) = -12/14
This simplifies to -6/7.
