add the fractiosn together, since they all have the same denominator, simply add the numerators
1/4+2/4+3/4=6/4
or
1 1/2 yards of fabric (2/4 = 1/2)
Answer:
tell fred to go to another school
Step-by-step explanation:
120 has the same value as 12 tens
Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
