Answer:
I'm assuming that you meant to type: The question is x/5=1/2+1/8 ; X= ?
If so, we're solving for x.
x/5 = 1/2 + 1/8
2 is a factor of 8, so let's start with common denominators.
x/5 = 1/2 *(4/4) + 1/8
x/5 = 4/8 + 1/8
x/5 = 5/8 As long as we just need to know the value of x, let's use inverse operations.
x/5 *5 = 5/8 *5
x = 25/8 or 3.125
Each term is 0.19 more than its predecessor. You have


So, we can assume that the next terms will be


We can write an equation to resemble the problem.
1160 = 170 + 50x
x equals the number of boxes he is carrying.
Solve for x.
1160 = 170 + 50x
990 = 50x
19.8 = x
We can't round up because that will be to much weight. So, we are going to round down.
19.8 -> 19
Therefore, the answer is 19.
Best of Luck!
X =54/3=18 ans
it is the answer
Remember, we can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
and distributive proeprty, reversed
ab+ac=a(b+c)
xm=x+z
minus x from both sides
xm-x=z
xm-1x
undistribute x
x(m-1)=z
divide both sides by (m-1)
