Linear Equation: 15m+10=w
15 pages written for every month for 5 months plus the 10 pages she has already written is equal to the total number of pages written in 5 months.
m= number months written. In this case, it is 5 months.
w= number of pages written in 5 months
15(5)+10=w
75+10=w
85 pages written=w
Carla will have written 85 pages in 5 months.
Answer:
To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.
Once you have simplified the expression, you get
-x-9/2x-4
But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write
x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4
So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.
In order from left to right:
D, C, A, B
7:54...10:55 - 33 minutes is 10:22. Then subtract 2 hours, brings you to 8:22. Then subtract 28 minutes, and is 7:54
