So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.
First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.
So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x.
Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.
Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.
Answer:
x=5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of ABCD=85
The perimeter is everything around the outside added together.
Form an equation:
3x+4+4x+6x-11+5x-7=85
Collect the like terms:
Like terms are terms that have the same powers and coefficient.
3x+4x+6x+5x=18x
4-11-7= -14
Put it back into an equation:
18x-14=85
Do inverse operations to find out what x is:
85+14=99
18x=99
99÷18=5.5 (we divide because, in algebra, when a number is next to a letter, it means times and as we want the inverse, you would have to divide)
x=5.5
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
$56,558.1
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question on compound interest.
The formula to calculate the Total Amount based on compound interest is given as:
A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt
A = Total or Final amount in the account after t years
P = Principal/ Initial amount invested=$35,000
r = Interest rate = 12%
n = compounding Frequency = daily = using 30 days in a month = 30 × 12 = 360 days
t = time in years = 4
A = $35,000( 1 + 0.12/360)^360 × 4
A = $56558.08
Approximately to the nearest cent ≈ A = $56,558.1
Therefore, Priscilla should be expecting $56,558.1 in the account after 4 years.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of rows in Vanessa's garden is x
Then x/2 + 6 = 8
so x/2 = 8 - 6 = 2
so x = 4
