Please help work this equation

Flauer [41]

Hi!

<u>Given these two equations:</u>

$x = y + 8$

$x + 4 = 2(y + 4)$

We want to solve using the substitution method. Knowing that x is equal to y + 8, we can simply plug in 'y + 8' in for x in the second equation, like so:

$(y+8)+4=2(y+4)$

Combine like terms on both sides:

$y+12=2y+8$

Subtract y from both sides:

$12=y+8$

Subtract 8 from both sides:

$y=4$

Now, we can simply plug the y value in to the first equation, and solve for x:

$x=4+8$

Simplify:

$x=12$

<h3>Therefore, x is equal to 12 and y is equal to 4.</h3>

a recipe uses 1 1/4 cups of milk to make 10 servings. if the same amount of milk is used for each serving, how many servings can

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

128 servings can be made using 1 gallon of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$1\frac{1}{4}$ cups of milk make 10 servings

$1\frac{1}{4}$ can also be written as 1.25

Ratio of cups of milk to servings = 1.25 : 10

1 gallon = 16 cups

Let,

x be the number of servings made from 1 gallon

Ratio of cups of milk to servings = 16 : x

This is a direct proportion

1.25 : 10 :: 16 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

10*16 = 1.25x

160 = 1.25x

1.25x=160

Dividing both sides by 1.25

$\frac{1.25x}{1.25}=\frac{160}{1.25}\\x=128$

Hence,

128 servings can be made using 1 gallon of milk.

The equation x²– 8x – 5 = 0 can be transformed into the equation (x - p)² = q, where p and q are real numbers. What are the valu

Juliette [100K]

The form (x - p)^2 = q is the form that completing the square will leave us with.

---Add 5 to both sides

x^2 - 8x = 5

---Divide the b term by 2, and square it. Then, add that number to both sides.

-8/2 = -4

(-4)^2 = 16

x^2 - 8x + 16 = 5 + 16

x^2 - 8x + 16 = 21

---Factor!

(x - 4)^2 = 21

p = 4

q = 21

Hope this helps!! :)

Solve the equation 1/2(16x – 6) = 2.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

x = 0.625 or 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(16x-6) = 2

8x - 3 = 3

8x = 3 + 3

8x/8 = 9/8

x = 0.625
