Answer 1

a) 5x/16

b) x = 32

Explanation:

a) x/8 + 3x/16 can be simplified by getting a common denominator. x/8 can be changed like this:

x/8 × 2/2 is 2x/16

now we have:

2x/16 + 3x/16

= 5x/16

b) solve x/8+3x/16=10

change the left side of the equation as in part a.

5x/16 = 10

multiply both sides of the equation by 16

5x = 160

divide by 5

x = 32
