Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distributive property on 2(4x - 4), which makes the equation 3x+8x-8=3
Simplify, which makes the equation 11x-8=3
Add 8 to both sides, which makes the equation 11x=11
Divide both sides by 11, which makes the equation x=1
The number of pennies in bank is 42
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that ratio of pennies to quarters in a piggy bank is 14 : 3
Let 14x be the number of pennies in piggy bank
Let 3x be the number of quarters in piggy bank
<em><u>To find: number of pennies</u></em>
Given that there are 51 quarters
number of pennies in piggy bank + number of quarters in piggy bank = 51
14x + 3x = 51
17x = 51
x = 3
number of pennies = 14x = 14(3) = 42
Thus the number of pennies in bank is 42
Answer:
-44
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a.) The sum of the weights of the two in insects is 0.0031 grams. (0.0031 grams)
b.) The fly is 0.0013 grams heavier than the gnat. (0.0013 grams)
Step-by-step explanation:
2.2 * 10^-3 = 2.2 * 1/1000 which is 2.2/1000.
9 * 10^-4 = 9 * 1/10000 = 9/10000
To add 9/10000 to 2.2/1000 we have to find the common denominator, which will be 10000.
So we do:
2.2/1000 * 10/10 = 22/10000
9/10000 + 22/10000 = 31/10000 = 0.0031.
The sum of the weights of the two in insects is 0.0031 grams.
To find how much heavier the fly is than the gnat we do:
22/10000 - 9/10000 = 13/10000 = 0.0013
The fly is 0.0013 grams heavier than the gnat.
