(a) 3/8 [ ] 15/40
Cross multiply to get 120[]120; so [] should be =
(b) 5/11 [ ] 4/9
Cross multiply to get 45[]44; so [] should be >
(c) 11/14 { ] 3/4
Cross multiply to get 44[]42; so [] should be >

Solving a linear equation with several occurances of the variable: Problem 1
Solve the following equation for t:
7 (t - 8) + 2t = -20
Simply your answer as much as possible
7t-56+2t=-20
9t=76
t=76/9
Additive property of equality: Problem type 2
What is the value of w if
w - 4(2+3) = -5*2
w-4(5)=-10
w-20=-10
w=10
