Which expression has the sum of twenty six twentieths? (4 points) Selected:a. two fifths plus four tenthsThis answer is incorrect. b. four fifths plus two fourths c. one half plus three tenths d. three fourths plus two fifths a is wrong

b. four fifths plus two fourths

Step-by-step explanation: Change the fractions to their equivalents in 20ths-- like finding the common denominator.

Divide the original denominator into 20, then multiply the result by the original numerator to get the new numerator.

4/5  20/5 = 4    4×4 = 16   so 4/5 is equivalent to 16/20

2/4   20/4 = 5    5×2 = 10   so  2/4 is equivalent to 10/20  

Add:    16/20 + 10/20 = 26/20

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

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.
