He used 11/12 of sugar.
(1) I multiplied the factors and denominators by eachothers denominators
(2) I ended up with the two converted fractions: 8/12 and 3/12. The reason for this step is because if the two fractions have the smae denominator, it helps make it easier to add the fraction.
(3) I added the fractions, getting the sum of 11/12
Good question!
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's get the same terms on the same side.
I am going to remove 5x from both sides of the equation by subtracting 5x
5x - 5x<span> -7 = 7x -</span>5x<span> - 17</span>
-7 = 2x - 17 now lets remove the 17 from both sides
-7 + 17 = 2x (why do we add 17? Think of 2x -17 as 2x + -17. Tor remove a negative number we add it.
Now we finally have 10=2x and if we divide both sides by 2
<u>10</u><span> = </span><u>2x</u><u>
</u>2 2 we get that x = 5
<u />Let's check by substituting 5 in the original equation:
5(5) - 7 = 7(5) - 17
25 - 7 = 35 - 17
<span>18 = 18</span>
Simplify 9 - 7x - 7x to 2 - 14x
2 - 14x = 4
Subtract 2 from both sides
-14x = 4 - 2
Simplify 4 - 2 to 2
-14x = 2
Divide both sides by -14
x = -2/14
Simplify 2/14 to 1/7
x = -1/7
Do you mean answer? Well, here is the answer: 211
Hope this helps! You should always make sure you know your division! :)
