Answer 9

does the expression look like this? \[\frac{ 3x+2 }{ 8 }\]

Answer 10

yep

sorry, I'm used to typing equations on mathway

Answer 11

doesn't say. the question is what sum or difference is equivalent to the expression

Answer 12

that doesn't make sense?

Answer 13

ik. I'm usually good at algebra

Answer 14

same it's my favorite subject

Answer 15

I think this might be asking you to split this into 2 fractions

Answer 16

I was thinking the same but the wording is off

Answer 17

i think its

Answer 18

no, haham this is easy. theyre asking you to solve for x

Answer 19

\[ \frac{ 5x }{ 8 }\]

Answer 20

you can't solve there is no equal sign

Answer 21

no, you cannot add the 2 to the 3x because they are different variables

Answer 22

ohh

Answer 23

no. 3x and 2 aren't like terms, so they can't be combined
\[\frac{ 3x+2 }{ 8 }=\frac{ 3x }{ 8 }+\frac{ 2 }{ 8 }\]
then reduce 2/8

Answer 24

and yes, you can solve for it :)

Answer 25

how?

Answer 26

but I'm supposed to find the equivalent sum

Answer 27

instead of solving it itself

Answer 28

hold on, let me think. Im trying to figure it out. im pretty sure this has to do with multiplying the fraction

Answer 29

3x/8 + 2/8 is an equivalent sum to (3x + 2)/8

Answer 30

omg how didn't i realize that!

Answer 31

yes peachpi is right now you just have to reduce the 2/8

Answer 32

into 1/4

Answer 38

Answer 39
