Your goal here is to solve for h. The first thing they are wanting you to do in order to facilitate this process is to isolate the term with the h in it. You do that by getting rid of the -2/3 that is with the h on the left. You do that by adding it to both sides. What do you get when you do that?

Answer 15

OMG I didn't see that you had several posts in this same question. I was answering the very first one! So sorry!

Answer 16

31 1/4

Answer 17

Its alright! But for the last ? Those are the options

Answer 18

28
31 1/4

Answer 19

Ok, they are telling you that 5 minutes is the length of the playing time for the first party. They also tell you that that 5 minutes is 1/5 of the playing time at the second party. So if 5 minutes is 1/5 of the second party, which is x, our equation for that part is
5=(1/5)x, with x being the length of playing time at the second party. Solve that for x, and you get that they played for 25 minutes at the second party. Now the third party is 1 1/4 shorter than the second party.

Answer 20

So 26 1/4?

Answer 21

I'm a bit stuck here...let me think for a minute.

Answer 22

Ok I got it sorry.

Answer 23

The third equation is this: The time for the second party is 1 1/4 of the time for the third party. Which translates in numbers and symbols to this: 25=5/4x, with x being the time for the third party. Solve for x and you get 20 minutes.

Answer 24

Answer options: 20 minutes
26 1/4
28 minutes
31 1/4

Answer 25

I told you I got it. It's 20 minutes. Ok?

Answer 26

Yep you got it! Thank you thank yu

Answer 27

You're welcome!

Answer 28

Umm could you help with more?

Answer 29

How could you out eliminate the fractions to make solving then equation 2/16m + 3/16 = 9/16 easier?

Divide both sides of the equation by 2/16
Divide both sides if the equation by 16
Multiply both sides of the equation by 16
Subtract 3/16 from both sides of the equation

Answer 30

That doesn't make any sense, what you wrote. Could you rewrite it, please?

Answer 31

Sorry, jumped ahead of myself and had to delete that reply...it was incorrect. The correct response is that you subtract 3/16 from both sides, which is the last choice.

Answer 32

That isolates the term with the unknown in it.

Answer 33

Ts okay and your a lifesaver

Answer 34

Thank you for that compliment!

Answer 35

Welcome!
