7-20.

For each equation below, solve for $x$ . Sometimes the easiest strategy is to use mental math.

$x - \frac { 3 } { 5 } = 1 \frac { 2 } { 5 }$
Hint (a):
What does $\frac{3}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = ?$

$5.2 + x = 10.95$
Answer (b):
$x = 5.75$

$2 x - 3.25 = 7.15$
Answer (c):
$x = 5.2$
Be sure to know how to get this answer using mental math. Recognize that $3.25 + 7.15$ equals an even decimal, $10.4$ .

$\frac { x } { 16 } = \frac { 3 } { 8 }$
Hint (d):
$8(2) = 16$
What must $x$ be?
