Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find x,

\frac{3}{5} = \frac{x}{10}

to get x alone, we multiple both side by 10

\frac{3}{5} * 10 = \frac{x}{10} *10

\frac{30}{5} = x

30 divided by 5 is 6

<u>Check</u>:

We can see that 5 x ____ = 10 where ____ is 2

5 x 2 = 10

so 3 x 2 = 6

What is the answer to the equation 4a+26-9a-17=26?
podryga [215]
First you have to put all of your common numbers together. 4a and 9a go together. You then subtract those because 9 is negative (-9). Then you get -5a. Now move on to your other numbers. You have 26 and 17. 17 is negative as well (-17), so you subtract it from 26. That gives you 9.
Your new equation is -5a + 9 = 26
Now you subtract 9 from both sides. Your positive (+9) will cancel out with your negative (-9). Then subtract it from 26. 9 minus 26 is 17. 
Now your equation is -5a = 17
Since it's negative, you're going to add it (5) to both sides. 
Your 5's cancel out, and 17 + 5 is 22. 
a = 22
22 is the answer

What is x and y math help

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • 20 cans of cola
  • 10 cans of root beer
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

x and y are whatever you want them to be.

It can be convenient for solving a problem like this to use x and y to represent <em>what the problem is asking for</em>: the number of cans of cola and the number of cans of root beer. It is also convenient (less confusing) to use those variable names in the same order that the nouns of the problem are named:

... x = # of cans of cola

... y = # of cans of root beer

Then the problem statement tells you ...

... x + y = 30 . . . . . . . 30 cans total were bought

... x = 2y . . . . . . . . . . the number of cans of cola is twice the number of cans of root beer

_____

This set of equations is nicely solved by substitution: use the second equation to substitute for x in the first.

... (2y) +y = 30 . . . . . put 2y where x was

... 3y = 30 . . . . . . . . collect terms

... y = 10 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

... 2y = x = 20

<em>You're not done yet. You need to answer the question the problem asks.</em>

Jared bought 20 cans of cola and 10 cans of root beer.

_____

<em>Comment on x and y</em>

You customarily see x and y as the variables of a problem. Personally, I like to use variables that remind me what they stand for. In this problem, I might use "c" for cans of cola and "r" for cans of root beer. Then when I've found the solution, I know exactly how it relates to what the question is asking.

Always start by writing down what the variables stand for (as we did here). Sometimes, this is called <em>writing a Let statement</em>: <u>Let</u> x = number of colas; <u>let</u> y = number of root beers.

<em>Comment on problems of this type</em>

When a proportional relationship is given between the items in a sum (2 cola cans for every root beer can), it is often convenient to work the problem in terms of groups of items. Here, a group of 3 items can consist of 2 cola cans and 1 root beer can. Then 30 items will be 10 groups, so 10 root beers and 20 colas. The problem is solved even before you can name the variables.

Even when the relationship isn't exactly proportional, you can add or subtract the extras and still work the problem this way. Had we said colas numbered 3 more than twice as many root beers, we could have our groups of 3 total 27 (30 less the 3 extra), giving 9 root beers and 21 colas (3 + 2·9).

What are the two words that allow you to check your division problem backward?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

inverse operation

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse means opposite. The opposite of division is multiplication. For example, if you divided 15 by 3, the answer is 5. If you multiply 5 by 3, the answer is 15. You know your answer is correct by checking it with the inverse operation.

Hope this helps!! Have a wonderful day :3
