A mixed apple vendor starts out with $28 \frac{2}{5}$ apples, sells $5 \frac{1}{2}$ apples to Bob, and then sells $7 \frac{1}{3}$ apples to Jane. After these two sales, how many apples does the vendor have left (expressed as a mixed number)?

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixed apple vendor starts out with , sells and then sells

To find apples left we need to subtract the apples sold

Make denominators same. LCD 30

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
