Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number
number = x
x - 5 = 3x + 1
now im going to get the numbers and variable on different sides
x - 5 + 5 = x
3x + 1 - 3x = 1
x + 3x = 4x
1 - 5 = -4
4x = -4
lastly im going to divide each side by 4
4x / 4 = x
-4 / 4 = -1
x = -1
Absolute value is simply the distance from zero on a number line. -44 is 44 away from zero, so the absolute value of -44 is
44
2 x 1/6 = 2/6 which can be reduced to 1/3
4 x 3/8 = 1 and 4/8 which can again be reduced to 1 and 1/2
problem 2 - 3/4
problem 3 - 2 (whole number)
