Answer:
8 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
We can reverse everything that is happening in the problem like this!...
Jeremiah has 20 - 4 pencils = 16 than 2 reverse operation of multiplication which will be division then 16 ÷ 2 = 8
Check work? 8 more than 2 times equals 16 + 4 more that Jeremiah has equals 20 pencils
2.25 x 1000 = 2250.
That's how much yds of ribbons he needs.
Answer:
Can't tell if it went through...
1. Shop A = 2x
2. Shop B = 2x - 580
3. Total = Shop A + Shop B
1949 = 2x + 2x - 580
4. Combine like terms
2x + 2x = 4x
1949 = 4x - 580
5. Add 580 to both sides (to remove -580 from right side)
1949 + 580 = 4x - 580 + 580
2529 = 4x
6. Divide both sides by 4 (to get x)
2529 / 4 = 4x / 4
632.25 = x
7. Shop A = 2x
2 * 632.25 = 1264.50
Shop A = 1264.50
8. Shop B = 2x - 580
2 * 632.25 - 580 = 684.50
Shop B = 684.50
Check: Shop A + Shop B = 1949
1264.50 + 684.50 = 1949
Shop A = 1264.50
Shop B = 684.50
