When questions asks us to solve for something unknown, it usually wants us to express the unknown in terms of other numbers.
Therefore, we can solve this by imagining all the other algebra are a number.
10a + 2b = 12
Shift 10a to the other side, turning it negative.
2b = 12 - 10a
Shift 2 from 2b to the other side, dividing 12 - 10a
b = (12 - 10a) / 2
Therefore the answer should be
b = \frac{12 - 10a}{2}

10a + 2b = 12 ; Solve for b

In order to solve for b, we must isolate it. That just means that we need to get "b" onto its own side of the equal sign! :)

So, we must first subtract 10a from both sides.

10a + 2b - 10a = 12 - 10a

Simplify.

2b = -10a + 12

Then, we simply divide both sides by 2.

2b ÷ 2 = (-10a + 12) ÷ 2

Simplify.

b = -10a/2 + 12/2

Simplify.

b = -5a + 6

There are 12 bags in a box of popcorn that cost $8.25. Find the unit rate for ONE bag of popcorn. Round to the hundredths place.
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

$0.69 for each bag

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you have 12 bags for $8.25, that means you need to divide the price by the number of bags to get the price of each:

\frac{8.25}{12}  = 0.6875

You then need to round to the nearest hundredths.  Since the number after the hundredths place is a 7, which is greater than or equal to 5, you need to add 1 to the hundredths place making the final answer $0.69

6c - (3 – 3c) = 24<br> Solve equation step by step
kap26 [50]

Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{c = 3}

6c - (3 - 3c) = 24

Distribute the negative sign with terms inside the parenthesis;

6c - (3) - (-3c) = 24

6c - 3 + 3c = 24

Combine like terms:

9c - 3 = 24

Add 3 to both sides:

9c = 27

Divide both sides by 9:

c = 3.

If a =7 , find the area of it . <br><br> Please give me the answer I have a exam at 12.00
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

60cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length x breath

Let,

length (L) = (a-1) cm

breadth (B) = (a+3) cm

Putting the value of a = 7;

we get,

length= 7-1 = 6 cm

breadth= 7+3 = 10 cm

Therefore, area of the rectangle = L x B

= 6 x 10

= 60 cm²
