My answer is preceded by "how do you use fraction strips?" !. The standard way is to adapt the fractions so they all have the same denominator (the "common denominator". So 1/2 + 1/4 is done by changing the 1/2 to 2/4. Total = 2/4 + 1/4 = (2+1)/4 = 3/4. And 2/5 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 12/30 + 15/30 10/30 + 5/30 = 42/30 = 7/5

How many solutions are there to the equation below 220 2x - 12x?

Unfortunately, the browser used for posting questions is hopelessly inadequate for mathematics: it strips away most symbols. As a result there is no equation in the question and so there can be no answer. It makes little sense for me to try and guess - I may as well make up my own questions and answer them!

How do you make x the subject of m n plus xp?

Unfortunately, the browser used for posting questions is hopelessly inadequate for mathematics: it strips away most symbols. All that we can see of the equation is "m n plus xp".Assuming that the equation is meant to be m = n + xpthen m - n = xpand so (m - n)/p = x.
