8z-13=7 (first, add 13 to both sides)
8z=20
z=20/8
=10/4
=5/2
=2.5

All you do is solve for z. So 8z-13=7. To solve for a variable you have to do the opposite to cancel out the numbers on each side. First you add 13 over to 7 to cancel out 13 on the z side. So 8z=20 is what you have left. Then you divide 8 on both sides to cancel out 8 on the z side. what you are left with is z=2.5. Lastly you plug and check. 8(2.5) - 13 = 7, 20-13=7. And thats correct so z is 2.5.

If a equals 4b - 15 what is b

nlexa [21]

Answer:

b = a + 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 4b - 15

You are solving for b. Isolate the b. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 15 to both sides

a (+15) = 4b - 15 (+15)

a + 15 = 4b

Next, divide 4 from both sides. Remember to divide from all terms.

(4a + 15)/4 = (4b)/4

b = (4a)/4 + (15)/4

b = a + 15/4

b = a + 3.75 is your answer

Five cats each ate 1/4 cup of cat food. How much food did the five cats eat?

qaws [65]

Answer: Five cats ate 1 and a quarter of cat food.

Step-by-step explanation

Given:-

Cat food ate by one cat = 1/4 cup

Cat food ate by five cats = $5\times \frac{1}{4} \text{ [Multiplying both sides with 5 ]}\\\\=\frac{5}{4}=\frac{4+1}{4}=\frac{4}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=1+\frac{1}{4}$ =1 and 1/4 cup.
