Answer 12

What do we need to find out

Answer 13

3 1/5 = what as an improper fraction?

Answer 14

\[3 \frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\] no as a mixed fraction

Answer 15

Simplify 1/5x to x/5
x/5+3(x−2)=26

2 Multiply both sides by 5
x+15(x−2)=130

3 Expand
x+15x−30=130

4 Simplify x+15x−30 to 16x−30
16x−30=130

5 Add 30 to both sides
16x=130+30

6 Simplify 130+30 to 160
16x=160

7 Divide both sides by 16
x=160/16

8 Simplify 160/16 to 10
x=10
