250 - 5(x) = 50
250 (-250) - 5x = 50 (-250)
-5x = -200
-5x/-5 = -200/-5
x = 40

Answer:
<em>Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows
* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M
* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)
I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.
Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey
Each person will get peanuts
1/3×1/5
=1/15pound
Answer: 6 hours
Step-by-step explanation: If you write an equation for this scenario it would be y = 12+3x. 12 is the starting value and x represents how many hours the bike is rented, therefore 3 dollars would be added to the initial 12 each hour. So if Lucy spent $30 then it would change to 30= 12+3x. Now you essentially just need to work backwards. Rearrange the equation and move 12 to the left of the equal sign to make 30-12=3x. Combine vairable to make 18=3x. Divide 3x by 3 to isolate x and divide 18 by 3 as well to make it even. This looks like 18/3=3x/3. Meaning it would end up as 6=x.
Answer:
J+2J=12 so 3J=12 so J=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Use J to represent Jake's miles.
We know that Gloria's miles (G) is twice J, so G=2J
We also know that Jake and Gloria together ran 12 miles.
So we know, J+2J=12 or 3J=12 meaning J=4
So Jake runs 4 miles, and since Gloria is two times that she ran 8 miles.
