Answer:
You can't do that. There is no answer
Answer:
90
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5x+4=1/3x-8
add 8 to both sides and subtract 1/5x from both sides
4+8=1/3x-1/5x
12=5/15x-3/15x
12=2/15x
divide both sides by 2/15
12÷2/15=x
when dividing by a fraction, invert and multiply
12*15/2=x
90=x
CHECK:
1/5(90)+4=1/3(90)-8
18+4=30-8
22=22
10x^3 is the greatest common factor
1/18 is left. Thomas has 1/18 left of his book. How? What denominator can 9&6 relate to? 54? Sure, but it could be lower. How about 18? Ok. We have 18 because 9x2 and 6x3 both equal 18...
2/9 becomes 4/18 because 18 divided by 9 is 2. You multiply 2 with the two from 2/9.
1/6 becomes 3/18 because 18 divided by 6 is 3. You then multiply 3 with the one from 1/6.
Put it together and TA-DA... Your answer is 1/18
