Answer:
B. 2x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
14 and 21 have a common factor which is 7 so divide both by 7 to get 2x-3.
1 recipe = 2/3 cup of butter.
3/4 recipe = 3/4 x 2/3 = 1/2 cup of butter
Answer: 1/2 cup of butter
Answer:
First number: -39
Second number: -37
Step-by-step explanation:
An odd number can be written as 
where n is a whole number.
Let's call our first number 2n+1.
Our second, consecutive number will be 2 more than our first number, since it has to be odd. All numbers go: odd -> even -> odd -> even. If we have an odd number, and add 2, we'll get the next odd number.
First number: 2n+1
Second number: 2n+1+2 = 2n+3
The sum of these two numbers, 2n+1 and 2n+3 will be -76.
(2n+1) + (2n+3) = -76
2n + 2n + 1 + 3 = -76
4n + 4 = -76
4n = -80
n = -20
Since our first number is 2n+1:
2 * (-20) + 1 = -40 + 1 = -39
First number: -39
Our second number is 2n+3, or 2 more than our first number.
-39 + 2 = -37
Second number: -37
We can double check this:
-39 + (-37) = -39 - 37 = -76
Step 1: Multiply 5x2 = 10 so the equation after the first step should look like this 10 + 12x + 8 = 0.
Step 2: Subtract 10 from the 8 and the number by itself cause whatever you do to one side you must do to the other. so the equation should look like this after the second step 12x + -2 = 0 because we subtracted the 10 and the 8.
Step 3: Now we must add the 2 to both sides because we have to do the inverse operation in this problem so once we've done this it should end up looking like this after the 3rd step 12x = 2 because the 2 was a negative.
Step 4: the final step we must divide since an anytime we have a number next to a variable it means multiply but since were using order of operations we have to do the opposite/inverse operation in this problem and we would divide 12 by 2 and get our final answer as x = -6 because the 12 would cancel itself out leaving us with 2 divided by 12 which is 0.16 or -6 depending on if you want it simplified or not the simplified answer would be 0.16 and the non simplified version would be -6
Answer:
x = 3/4
y = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
No there is just one.
Equate the ys
-2/3 x + 3 = 2/3 x + 2 Add 2/3 x to both sides
3 = 2/3 x + 2/3x + 2 Combine
3 = 4/3 x + 2 Subtract 2
3-2 = 4/3 x Multiply by 3
1 * 3 = 4x Divide by 4
3/4 = x
====================
y = 2/3 x + 2
y = 2/3 * 3/4 + 2
y = 6/12 + 2
y = 1/2 + 2
y = 2 1/2
y = 2.5
