You worded this weird, but each bag of sugar is 8 pounds...
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 1 on both sides
then divide by 3
to get 13
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
I WOULD DO THE EASIEST, A.
Answer: y=<em>300</em>-40x
The <em>y-intercept</em> would be 300
The slope would be -40
Step-by-step explanation:
x=number of months
300 is the amount she starts with
Equation can also be written like so; y=-40x+300 just like in y=mx+b (slope intercept) form
