How I’d do it:
5/6 three times makes 15/6. Made into a mixed fraction is 2 3/6, which in its simplest form is 2 1/2.
When converted to ounces, assuming that 6/6 is one complete ounce, then you get 2.5 ounces.
The total weight she picked up is 2.5 ounces.
Although they are the same variable, you cannot add two variables raised to different powers. 3x^1 + 5x^2 cannot work, but 3x^2 + 5x^2 can. Also, if you are multiplying them, they would combine to be 15x^3, as 3 and 5 (The coefficients) multiply together and x^2 times x^1 = x^3.
I hope that helps.
ANSWER:
Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
Point Form:
(−2,−16)
Equation Form:
x= −2, y= −16
Answer: x = 6
Step-by-step explanation: If you take 88.56 + 5x = 19.76x, an equation, you should first rearrange the variables to the left side of the equation: 5x - 19.76x = -88.56.
Next, you should combine your like terms. So, -14.76 = -88.56.
Then, divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable. So, x = -88.56 / -14.76./
Lastly, calculate. Determine the sign for multiplication or division, so x = 88.56 / 14.76. Multiply both the numerator and denominator with the same integer. So, x = 8856 / 1476. Cross out the common factor, then you get your answer of x = 6
