Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Set up equations (L= Lisa; M = Maria; A = April; J = Jim)</em>
L = 12M
A = 2J
<em>Substitute x for Maria and 6x for Jim</em>
L = 12x
A = 2(6x) = 12x
<em>So, you get:</em>
Maria = x
Jim = 6x
Lisa = 12x
April = 12x
<h3>
Answer: 1/15</h3>
Work Shown:
2/5 - 1/3
6/15 - 5/15
(6-5)/15
1/15
Here are two ways to check the answer:
- Type 2/5 - 1/3 into your calculator to get roughly 0.06667. The 6's actually repeat forever, but of course the calculator rounds at some point. You should notice that 1/15 has the same decimal value. Therefore 2/5 - 1/3 = 1/15
- Type (2/5-1/3) - (1/15) into your calculator. You should get zero or very close to it. I'm using the fact that if A = B, then A-B = 0.
Answer:
w=6, x=7, t=7, n=90, w=15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 5w = 30
30/5 = 6
w=6
b) 3x-5=16
Add 5 to each side.
3x+5=16+5
3x=21
21/3=7
x=7
c) 10-t=17
10-t=17
17-10-7
-t=-7
Negative and a negative is a positive.
t=7
d) n/5 = 18
n=18 * 5
n=90
e.) 4w-12=2w+3
4w=2w+3+12
4w=2w+15
4w−2w=15
2w=15
w= 15/2
