Mr. and mrs. robinson won a sum of money in a lottery. they decided to use 2/5 of their winning as a down payment on a house and 3/10 of the remaining amount to furnish their new home. what fraction of their winning was left ?

The fraction of winning money which is left is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Let The money won in a lottery = $ x

The money use as down payment on a house = of x

So, the remaining money = $ x - $   of x

I.e  the remaining money =

Or,  the remaining money =  

Now, again

The amount use to furnish the new home =   of remaining

Or, The amount use to furnish the new home =   ×  

So,  The amount use to furnish the new home =

Now, The left amount of the winning = x -  

i.e  The left amount of the winning =  

Or.  The left amount of the winning =  

Hence The fraction of winning money which is left is  answer

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
