Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
On the first day, Ben (B) starts with 10 tubs and Winston (W) starts with 0 tubs.
After the first day, Ben sells 8 tubs per day while Winston sells 9 tubs per day.
Therefore we can write the following equation: (Where d = number of days)
B = 10 + 8d
W = 0 + 9d = 9d
We are told that eventually they will sell the same amount which means
B = W
This means we can say,
10 + 8d = 9d
If we subtract 8d from both sides we get
10 = d
Therefore it will take 10 days for them to sell the same amount of cookie dough.
Answer:
s=-7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
-9s+12-12=-18s-3-4
-9s=-18s-7
9s=-7
s=-7/9
(if I understood the question correctly)
Answer: 1:3
Step-by-step explanation: You would divide both sides by 6 and get 1:3 poodles to beagles
N = d - 5
2n/(d + 16) = n/d - 1/3 n/d
2n/(d + 16) = 2/3 n/d Divide by 2n
1 / (d + 16) = 1/3 d
Here's the tricky part.
d + 16 = 3d the two denominators are equal. the numerators are both 1.
16 = 2d
d = 8
so the numerator is d - 5
n = 8 - 5
n = 3
Let's see if it checks out.
n = 3
d = 8
2*3 = 6
8 + 16 = 24
New fraction 6/24 = 1/4
(3/8 - 1/3 ) = 1/8
3/8 - 1/8 = 1/4 so it checks with the original conditions put on it.
