7/20 + 3/16 = x
x=

Answer 1

x = 0.5375

Explanation:

=7/20 + 3/16 = x

=LCM = 80

=80×7/20 + 80×3/16 = x × 80

=4×7 + 5×3 = x × 80

=28 + 15 = 80x

=43 = 80x

=43/80 = 80x/80

=43/80 = x

=0.5375 = x.

Sorry but I don't know how to use the slash mark (/).

Explanation:

7/20 + 3/16 = x

x = 7/20 + 3/16

LCM of 20 and 16 = 80

x = 28/80 + 15/80

x = 43 /80
