Answer:
1. 4/5+x=1/3
2. x=-7/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, let's break this down. Let's translate the words into numbers.
- Four fifths= 4/5. A number=x. One third=1/3.
- More than= +. Is means =.
So, 4/5+x=1/3. Great job! Your half way there:) Now we need to solve it.
- 4/5+x=1/3 (Original Equation.)
- x=1/3-4/5 (We subtracted both sides by 4/5 to isolate the x term.)
- x=5/15-12/15 (We found the common denominator to make it easier to subtract.)
- x=-7/15 (Ta-da!)
