"Pedro has twice as many carrots as Martha:"
p = 2m
<span>
"If Pedro gives 5 carrots to Oliver,"
p - 5 (</span>Oliver is irrelevant.)<span>
"then Martha has 3 times as many carrots as Pedro"
</span>
m = 3(p - 5)
We know p in terms of m, so substitute it in:
m = 3(2m - 5)
Distribute the 3:
m = 6m - 15
Subtract 6m from both sides:
m-6m=-15
Combine variable terms:
-5m=-15
Divide out -5
m = -15/-5
m = 3
The answer is c) 3
Answer:
Difference between high and low temperatures: 12°F
Average change in temperature per hour: 2°F
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between high and low temperatures was: 7 - (-5) = 12 (°F)
Midnight is 12am, so 6pm to midnight is 6 hours.
The average change in temperature per hour is: 12 / 6 = 2 (°F)
Answer:
Y = -24
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, evaluate simply means for each x, replace the value with -2. So, let's do that.
Y = 6*2x
Y = 6*2(-2)
Y = 6*-4
Y= -24

There are 16 ounces in a pound, and you only need half a pound so
16/2 = 8
