Answer:
x = -3/13
Step-by-step explanation:
cross multiply
4x + 6 = 30x + 12
combine like terms
-6 = 26x
x = -6/26 = -3/13
Answer:
x = 87/28
Step-by-step explanation:
Hailey's mixing two different coffee blends. Represent them by x and y (in pounds). Then x + y = 5 lb, and x = 5 - y.How much puree Sum. beans are we talking about here?
0.20x +0.80y = 0.60(5 lb) Mult all 3 terms by 100 to get rid of factions:
20x + 80 y = 300. Substitute 5-y for x:
20(5-y) + 80y = 300 => 100-20y + 80y = 300 => 60y = 200, so y = 20/6 or 10/3 lb den x = 5-10/3, or x =5/3 lb
Use 5/3 lb of the first blend and 10/3 lb of the second blend to come up with 5 lb of a 60% blend.
Answer:
-4 1/4 When you subtract -3 3/8 from 7/8 you will get this answer.
Hope this helps
1a. 5/10 can be simplified to 1/2. (5 divided by 5 is one, 10 divided by 5 is 2.)
1b. 9/12 can be simplified to 3/4. (9 divided by 3 is 3, 12 divided by 3 is 4.)
1c. 12/18 can be simplified to 2/3. (12 divided by 6 is 2, 18 divided by 6 is 3.)
1d. 9/24 can be simplified to 3/8. (9 divided by 3 is 3, 24 divided by 3 is 8.)
1e. 27/90 can be simplified to 3/10. (27 divided by 9 is 3, 90 divided by 9 is 10.)
1f. 40/48 can be simplified to 5/6. (40 divided by 8 is 5, 48 divided by 8 is 6.)
