Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2 + x = 5 1/3 Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions

5/2 + x = 16/3 The lowest common multiple is 6. Multiply by 6

5*3 + 6x = 16*2

15 + 6x = 32 Subtract 15 from both sides.

6x = 32 - 15

6x = 17 Divide by 6

6x/6 = 17/6

x = 2 5/6

Check

5/2 + 17/6 = 16/3

15/6 + 17/6 = 32/6

32/6 = 32/6 The question checks.

How many coins did julia collect

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The number of coins Julia found is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total number of gold coins collected divided by the number of people collecting is 6. So we can set up an equation:

$\frac{6+5+6+8+x}{5}=6$

this simplifies to:

$\frac{25+x}{5}=6$

Using the multiplication property of equality and multiplying both sides by we get:

25+x=30

Then finally, using the subtraction property of equality we get our answer:

x=5

1.) x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 336

2.) x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 336

3.) 3x + 3 = 336

4.) 3x = 333

4.) x = 111

Check Work:

1.) 111 + (111 + 1) + (111 +2) = 336

2.) 111 + 111 + 1 + 111 + 2 = 336

3. ) 222 + 1 + 111 + 2 = 336

4.) 222 + 114 = 336

5.) 336 = 336
