Answer:
a = 9 / 7
step by step explanation:
9 / - a + 15 = 8
Determined the defined range
9 / ( - a ) + 15 = 8 , a ≠ 0
subtract 15 from each side
9 / - a + 15 - 15 = 8 - 15
calculate the difference
9 / - a = - 7
multiply both side of equation by - a
9 / - a × - a = - 7 × - a
9 = 7 a
divide each side by of equation by -7
9 / 7 = 7 a / 7
9 / 7 = a
swap the side of equation . ( optional )
a = 9 / 7
Answer:
7 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 3 brothers
First , Second, Third
Let the total number cookies be represented by A
1 cookie = 1
Working backwards, we start from the third brother
If we work backwards
It means he gave everything away
We start from the youngest
He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie
This means,
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
The second brother
He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies
Half of what is left from brother
= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie
= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2
= 1.5 + 1/2
= 2 cookies
For the first brother
He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie
= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies
= 3 1/2 + 1/2
= 4 cookies
The first brother got 4 cookies
The second brother got 2 cookies
The third broth got 1 cookies
Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2-[-1/4+2/3]
1/2-[-3/12+8/12]
1/2-[5/12]
1/2-5/12
6/12-5/12
1/12
Answer:
No solution
Explanation:
-4+19-7f = -15-7
cancel terms on both sides ( add 7f on both sides)
Calculate the sum
-4+19= -15
-4+19=15
15 = -15
The statement 15 = -15 is false so there is no solution :)
Take the natural log of both sides
ln(2^x)=ln(.125)
Xln(2)=ln(.125)
X=ln(.125)/ln(2)
X=-3
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE:
You know that 0.125 is equal to 1/8
And 1/2^3 is also equal to 1/8
So since you need the reciprocal to match it the exponent is a negative
