Question

7 1/4 x−x=9 3/8 HELLLLPPPPP PLLSSSS

Answer 1

x = 3/2

Explanation:

7 1/4 = 7 + 1/4 = 28/4 + 1/4 = 29/4

9 3/8 = 9 + 3/8 = 72/8 + 3/8 = 75/8

then:

7 1/4 x = 29x/4

29x/4 - x = 75/8

29x/4 - 4x/4 = 75/8

25x/4 = 75/8

x = (75/8)/(25/4)

x = (75*4)/(8*25)

x = 300/200

x = 3/2

Checking:

(29/4)(3/2) = (29*3)(4*2) = 87/8

87/8 - 3/2 = 75/8

3/2 = 12/8

then:

87/( - 12/8 = 75/8

Answer 2

-1.5

Explanation:

So, you do 7.25 - 1 (because it is) and you get 6.25. Make it a fraction inton 25/4 and divide bu 75/8 (9 3/8 simplified) and you get -1.5 voila.
