Answer :
Step by Step Explanation :
1. 6x - 30 - 4x = 12x - 15
2. 2x - 30 = 12x - 15
3. -10x - 30 = -15
4. -10x = 15
5. x = -10/15
6. x = -2/3 (simplified)
Answer:
C: 200
Step-by-step explanation:
Just multiply 12.5 x 8 x 2 to get the answer.
Jessica solved for the correct value of a, but Sally's review was incorrect.
0.19 for one cookie and 0.59 for one doughnut
x for how much one cookie costs and y for how much one doughnut costs
6x+4y=3.5
12x+5y=5.23
solve by substitution: (elimination would work too)
4y=3.5-6x
y=0.875-1.5x
12x+5(0.875-1.5x)=5.23
12x+4.375x-7.5x=5.23
4.5x=0.855
x=0.19
now use x to solve for y:
6(0.19)+4y=3.5
1.14+4y=3.5
2.36=4y
y=0.59
Check the work: 6(0.19)+4(0.59)=3.5
#22. We are given that y = 1/4. So, we want to plug this value into the expression 15/y:
15/(1/4)
When you divide by a fraction, you should follow the rule “flip the guy and multiply”. Basically, 15/(1/4) = 15 * 4 = 60.
The answer for #22 is (D).
#23. We can use a proportion:
(The shaded area)/(entire circle area) = (360 - 60)/360
But, we don’t have to find the areas of the region and circle; we can just solve the fraction:
(360 - 60)/360 = 300/360 = 30/36 = 5/6
The answer for #23 is (A).
