The simplified form of the expression [5.5(x+6 1/2)-(x+9 1/3)-(19-x)] is 11x/2 + 89/12
What is the simplified form of the expression
Given the expression;
5.5(x+6 1/2) - (x+9 1/3) - (19-x)
First, we convert 6 1/2, 9 1/3 and 5.5 to an improper fraction
6 1/2 = 13/2, 9 1/3 = 28/3 and 5.5 = 11/2
So, we have
(11/2)( x + 13/2 ) - ( x + 28/3 ) - ( 19 - x )
Next, we remove the parentheses
11x/2 + 143/4 - x - 28/3 - 19 + x
11x/2 + 143/4 - 28/3 - 19
11x/2 + 317/12 - 19
11x/2 + 89/12
Therefore, the simplified form of the expression [5.5(x+6 1/2)-(x+9 1/3)-(19-x)] is 11x/2 + 89/12.
