Marcus has one book less than three times the number of books that Jessie has. Use the algebra tiles to create a model of the number of books Marcus has if Jessie has x number of books. When you are done, take a screen shot and attach it to the assignment submission.

Answer from: erikabermudez55

Let's define the variables:

M = number of books that Marcus has.

x = number of books that Jessie has.

We know that:

"Marcus has one book less than three times the number of books that Jessie has."

Then the equation that represents the number of books that Marcus has is:

M = 3*x - 1.

Then if x tiles represent the number of books that Jessie has, the number of tiles for Marcus will be 3 times that, and then subtract one tile.

x= 1

step-by-step explanation: convert 5\frac{11}{12}5

to improper fraction. use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a

ac+b

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{5\times 12+11}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

5×12+11

2 simplify 5\times 125×12 to 6060

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{60+11}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

60+11

3 simplify 60+1160+11 to 7171

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

4 simplify \frac{5}{6}x

x to \frac{5x}{6}

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

5 convert 1\frac{1}{3}1

to improper fraction. use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a

ac+b

3.25+0.5x+\frac{1\times 3+1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

1×3+1

6 simplify 1\times 31×3 to 33

3.25+0.5x+\frac{3+1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

3+1

7 simplify 3+13+1 to 44

3.25+0.5x+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

8 simplify 3.25+0.5x+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}3.25+0.5x+

to \frac{13.75}{3}+\frac{4x}{3}

13.75

\frac{13.75}{3}+\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}

13.75

9 simplify \frac{13.75}{3}

13.75

to 4.5833334.583333

4.583333+\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}4.583333+

10 subtract 4.5833334.583333 from both sides

\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}-4.583333

−4.583333

11 simplify \frac{71}{12}-4.583333

−4.583333 to \frac{4}{3}

\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{4}{3}

12 multiply both sides by 33

4x=\frac{4}{3}\times 34x=

×3

13 simplify \frac{4}{3}\times 3

×3 to \frac{12}{3}

4x=\frac{12}{3}4x=

14 simplify \frac{12}{3}

to 44

4x=44x=4

15 divide both sides by 44

x=1
