\(\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }y \) and -1\(\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }y \) are like terms so combine these by evaluating \(\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }y \) -1\(\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }y \) = ? (step 1) after that, combine the other terms 1\(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }y \) + 2 - 12 = ? (step 2)
how do i do that?
\(\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \) -1\(\frac{ 3 }{ 4 } \) = ? first convert 1 and 3/4 to a mixed number by multiplying/adding in this direction:
|dw:1517592497421:dw|
|dw:1517592506614:dw|
|dw:1517592523130:dw|
so \(\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \) -\(\frac{ 7 }{ 4 } \) = ?
good, so \(\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }y \) -1\(\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }y \) = -1\(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }y \) after that, combine the other terms 1\(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \) + 2 - 12 = ? (step 2) by first converting 1 and a half to a mixed number, then just adding the other terms
|dw:1517592738379:dw|
\[-1\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]
?
we can convert 2 and 12 to 4/2 and 24/2 so 3/2 + 4/2 - 24/2 = ?
that was the first step, -1 and a half we have moved on to the second step what is 3/2 + 4/2 - 24/2 = ?
-1 1/2?
let's combine the numerators 3 + 4 - 24 = ?
7-24
and 7-24 = ?
17
should be -17 but you're getting the idea so 3/2 + 4/2 - 24/2 = -17/2 = -8\(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\) so putting everything together -1\(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\)y -8\(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\) = your answer
is my answer?
yes
gcf is 12 divide both terms by 12 and those go into the parentheses 60x/ 12 = ?
0.2?
what is 60/12 = ?
5
good so 60x/12 is just 5x 24/12 = 2 so we factor to get 12(5x-2) = your ans
(1/3)a - (1/6)a = ?
good just don't forget the a so (1/6)a -5 - 3 = -8 so (1/6)a - 8 = your answer = C
add 3 to both sides 8 = (1/5)x then solve for x
so i do 1 divided by 5?
since we want x by itself, we do the opposite of what is being done to x since x is being divided by 5, we multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the (1/5) so 8*5 = x, so x = 40
divide both sides by -3 then subtract 5 from both sides lmk if you get stuck
huh?
|dw:1517594359596:dw|
|dw:1517594364862:dw|
divide the left side by -3 and the right side by -3 then subtract 5 from the left side and subtract 5 from the right side
-3(x+5) divided by -3 = ?
i have no clue
|dw:1517594603247:dw|
|dw:1517594621480:dw|
then we move to the right side -9/-3 = 3 then (x+5) = 3 solve for x
3?
@Vocaloid
(x+5) = 3 subtract 5 from each side
4 and -2?
x + 5 - 5 = x 3 - 5 = -2 x = -2 = your answer
let b = the number of billy's cars let t = the number of tom's cars t = b + 5 if t = 12 then what does b equal?
7?
awesome, so billy has 7 cars your answer is 7
Three sevenths of a children's choir are boys. There are 12 boys in the choir. How many children in total are in the choir?
@Vocaloid
(3/7)x = 12 solve for x
12 + 3 = 15 12 + 7 = 19
@Vocaloid
x is being multiplied by (3/7) so we must divide both sides by (3/7) to isolate x 12/(3/7) = ?
idk
to divide by a fraction, flip the numerator/denominator and change the division sign to a multiplication sign 12 * (7/3) = ?
idk
to multiply by a fraction, multiply across the numerator and divide by the denominator 12 times 7, then divided by 3 = ?
28
good, so x = 28
A mechanic charged $220.28 to repair a car. The price included charges for 3 hours of labor and $126.53 for parts. How much does the mechanic charge per hour for labor?
subtract total cost - the cost of the parts then divide the result by 3 since there are 3 hours
42.176...
@Vocaloid
(220.28-126.53)/3 = ?
178.103....
220.28-126.53 = ?
93.75
good, now divide that by 3
31.25
good, so 31.25 = your ans
Holly bought 23 tickets to the baseball game. She got a group rate that gave her $4 off of the regular ticket price for each ticket. The total cost was $184. What was the regular price for each ticket?
let regular price = x discounted price = x - 4 total cost = number of tickets * 23 so 184 = 23(x-4) solve for x
how?
remember what we did before, we divided both sides by a number to isolate x
since we have 23(x-4) we want to divide both sides by 23 first
so... start by dividing both sides by 23...
5.75 and 23
184/23 = ?
8
good, and 23(x-4)/23 is just (x-4) so x - 4 = 28 x = ?
32?
whoops not 28 just 8 (x-4) = 8 x = ?
12?
good, so your answer = 12
Michael is making cookies. Each batch uses 2 cups of flour. He plans to use less than 30 cups of flour for cookies so that he has enough left to make muffins. He has already used 4 cups of flour for cookies. Which statement describes how many more batches of cookies Michael can make? Michael can make fewer than 13 batches of cookies. Michael can make fewer than 14 batches of cookies. Michael can make fewer than 15 batches of cookies. Michael can make fewer than 26 batches of cookies.
@Vocaloid
he wants to use 30 cups of flour max he has already used 4 so he has 26 left if each batch of cookies needs 2 cups of flour how many batches can he make w/ 26 cups total?
60?
here we would use division 26/2 = ?
13
good, so "fewer than 13" option 1
