You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your equation is:
\n" ); document.write( ".75=x-275/80
\n" ); document.write( "add 275/80 to both sides of this equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( ".75 + 275/80 = x
\n" ); document.write( "commute this to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = .75 + 275/80
\n" ); document.write( "you can use your calculator to solve for x to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = .75 + 3.43754 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4.1875
\n" ); document.write( "alternatively, you can keep it in fraction form as follows:
\n" ); document.write( ".75 is the same as 75/100
\n" ); document.write( "your equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "75/100 + 275/80 = x
\n" ); document.write( "commute this to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 75/100 + 275/80
\n" ); document.write( "put these under a common denominator of (100*80) to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = ((75*80) + (275*100)) / (100*80)
\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = (6000 + 27500)/8000
\n" ); document.write( "simplify further to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 33500/8000
\n" ); document.write( "divide numerator and denominator by 100 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 335/80
\n" ); document.write( "divide numberator and denominator by 5 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 67/16
\n" ); document.write( "i don't think it can be simplified further than that.
\n" ); document.write( "that would be your answer in fraction form.
\n" ); document.write( "divide 67/16 and you get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4.1875
\n" ); document.write( "since that's the same answer we got up top, we did the fraction form correctly.
\n" ); document.write( "how you provide the answer is determined by what your instructor expects.
\n" ); document.write( "either form is correct.
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4.1875 or x = 67/16 are your answers to this problem.\r
