The mistake he makes is by saying 3/4 + 1/4 = 4/8

The denominators stay the same when adding fractions, and the denominators must be the same value.

So instead, he should have 3/4 + 1/4 = 4/4 = 1

Overall, 5 3/4 + 2 1/4 = 5+2+1 = 8

What is the value of X?<br><br> Please help! I suck at math but need to pass

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because To get a single x you would have to divide 5x by 5. Whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other so you would do 5 x/5 and get 10/5 and then x=10/5 and 10/5 equals 2 so...x=2 , Hope this helped!

Answer:

TanФ=-1.793

Step-by-step explanation:

$Sin^{2} (A) + Cos^{2} (A) = 1$

$Sin(A)=\sqrt{1-Cos^{2} (A)}$

$Tan(A) = \frac{Sin(A)}{Cos(A)}$

$Tan(A) =\frac{\sqrt{1-Cos^{2}(A) } }{Cos(A)} \\Tan(A) =\frac{\sqrt{1-(-.487)^{2} } }{-.487}=-1.793433202$

Harpreet, Sukhpreet and Komalpreet are three sisters. Sukhpreet is x years old. Harpreet is 3 years older than Sukhpreet. Komalp

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Harpreet = x + 3

Sukhpreet = x

Komalpreet = 2*(x + 3)

Average Age = 15

Equation

[(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15 Multiply both sides by 3

Solution

3 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15 * 3 Combine

[(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] = 45 Remove the brackets

x + 3 + x + 2x + 6 = 45 Combine like terms

4x + 9 = 45 Subtract 9 from both sides

4x + 9 - 9 = 45 - 9 Combine

4x = 36 Divide by 4

4x/4 = 36/4

x = 9

Answer

Harpreet is x+ 3 = 9 + 3 = 12
