Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Remove Parentheses
[tex]=\frac{7}{4}x-5+2y-3.5-\frac{1}{4}x+5[/tex]
Step 2: Group like terms
[tex]=\frac{7}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}x+2y-5-3.5+5[/tex]
Step 3: Multiply and Add/Subtract the numbers
[tex]=\frac{3x}{2}+2y-3.5[/tex]
Step 4: Convert fraction into a decimal form
[tex]\frac{3}{2}=1.5[/tex]
[tex]=1.5x+2y-3.5[/tex]
Explanation in words:
- To solve this equation, the first step is to remove the Parentheses from the equation.
- To solve this equation, the second step is to Group the equation together.
- To solve this equation, the third step is to Multiply and Add/Subtract the numbers in the equation
- To solve this equation, the last step is to convert the fraction into a decimal form and the answer is = 1.5 but when converted it is 1.5x + 2y - 3.5
Answer:
[tex]1.5x+2y-3.5[/tex]
and
[tex]\frac{3}{2}=1.5[/tex]
Hope this helps.
