Answer: m = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can distribute both sides.
3*m + 3*7 = 6*m + 6*2
3m + 21 = 6m + 12
We can now combine like terms.
3m = 9
m = 3
Answer:
2+2×8=18
Step-by-step explanation:
2+2×8
2+16
18
6(4x + 2) = 3(8x + 4)
Reorder the terms:
6(2 + 4x) = 3(8x + 4)
(2 * 6 + 4x * 6) = 3(8x + 4)
(12 + 24x) = 3(8x + 4)
Reorder the terms:
12 + 24x = 3(4 + 8x)
12 + 24x = (4 * 3 + 8x * 3)
12 + 24x = (12 + 24x)
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
24x = 0 + 24x
24x = 24x
Add '-24x' to each side of the equation.
24x + -24x = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
Answer:
2/5 hour is closest to 0 1/2 hours, 5/8 hour is closest to 1/2 hour. Therefore, the best estimate for the total time Maria spent with her sister is close to 1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We can represent the time Maria spends playing the game as 0.4, since 2/5 as a fraction is 0.4. This is closer to 1/2, which is 0.5 then it is to 0, because 4 is closer to 5 then 0. Then, we can represent the time Maria reads the book as 0.625, which is closer to 1/2 then it is to 1. Now we can add the estimated times. 
hour
