OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

can you figure out the value of x in fraction forms?

OpenStudy (like1234):

i need step by step help

OpenStudy (like1234):

hello??? @FaiqRaees @soprano.h.d0816

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

First, I'd say cross multiply. So: 4x-1*1 and 3*7 4x-1*1 is 4x-1; and 3*7 is 21

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

So you'd set 4x-1 equal to 21. 4x-1=21 +1 +1 4x=22 -- -- 4 4 x= 5.5

OpenStudy (like1234):

ok ill try that

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

no no

OpenStudy (like1234):

?

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

they are asking in simplest fraction

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

x = 22/4 x = (22/2)/(4/2) x =11/2

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Hope it helped

OpenStudy (like1234):

ok i will try that

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):

Whch is basically what I did. 5.5 in fraction for is 11/2

OpenStudy (like1234):

so both ways r correct thanks so much

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

yeah but they are asking for simplest fraction

OpenStudy (soprano.h.d0816):
