#1: 4*5 + 4*6=20+24=44
#2: 4*(5+6)=4*11=44
Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3
6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Factor out the common term; 3
3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Cancel out 3
2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2
2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2
Factor out the common term; 2
2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2
Cancel out 2
2x - 5 = 5x - 2
Subtract 2x from both sides
-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x
Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2
-5 = 3x - 2
Add 2 to both sides
-5 + 2 = 3x
Simplify -5 + 2 to -3
-3 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
- 1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>
8 ounces* 20 days= 160 ounces
160 ounces divided by 16 ounces in a pound= 10 pounds
She will have fed tiny 10 pounds of dog food in 20 days.
Multiple 5x70 to get 350. Which makes the equation 350=5x and then you have to divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself. so 5x/5 and 350/5 makes x=70
