3 5 of the first group are right-handed. 80% of the second group are right-handed. What fraction of the class is right-handed?

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To make things simple, let's turn 80% into a fraction, 8/10. To get a common denominator let's turn 8/10 into 4/5. Since they are both of equal size, the first group would have 2/5 left-handed people and the second 1/5 left-handed people. Let's imagine that each group has 5 people in it. There would be 10 people in total. There is 1 person for each fifth so we can add now. 4 + 3 = 7 right handed people. To check, 2 + 1 = 3 and 3 + 7 = 10. so 7/10 of the class is right-handed.

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
