5\6 of a pound + 3\4 of a pound = ? ?

19/12 pounds or 1.583 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a pound be represented by x. So x = 1 pound.

5/6 of a pound is the same as multiplying 5/6 × x. It becomes 5/6 × x = 5x/6

3/4 of a pound is the same as multiplying 3/4 × x. It becomes 3/4 × x = 3x/4

We want to look for 5/6 of a pound + 3/4 of a pound.

It becomes

5x/6 + 3x/4

Taking lowest common multiple(LCM) of 12, it becomes

= (2×5x + 3×3x) / 12

= (10x +9x)/12

= 19x /12

Substituting x = 1 pound,

It becomes 19/12 pounds

Expressing in decimal, 19/12 = 15.83

We can also solve from the beginning in terms of decimals

5/6 pounds = 0.833 pounds

3/4pounds = 0.75 pounds

5/6 pounds + 3/4 pounds = 0.833 + 0.75 = 1.583 pounds

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
