In these questions, they're asking you to express x in terms of the other algebra.
So we can simply solve this by imaging them as real numerical values.
rx - sx + y = b
First shift +y to the other side, change it to negative.
rx - sx =b - y
Factories rx - sx by picking out the common factor x.
x ( r - s) = b - y
Shift (r-s) to the other side, and we're done.
x = b - y / r - s
Therefore, the final answer is
X - 20 = 24
Add 20 to both sides
x = 24 + 20 = 44
So lets solve this!
Quarts of water 1st container holds= 17/8
Quarts of water 2nd container holds= 5 3/4
Quarts of water does the second container holds than the first container=?
First of all we need to change 5 3/4 into an improper fraction
5 3/4= 23/4
Secondly, we need to find the LCM of 17/8 and 23/4
LCM:
17/8= 51/24
23/4= 138/24
So now we have got both of the LCM's
Quarts of second container holds the first container= 23/4 - 138/24=87/24
Your answer is 87/24
Hope this Helps!
I'm sorry, but I'm a bit confused on what you're trying to ask. Could you please clarify?
