The property that is being described in the statement "The sum of the components of anything equals the whole thing" would be the Partition Postulate. It is simply the whole is equal to the sum of its parts. For instance we have a line where it contains points W, X, Y and Z, then WX + XY + YZ = WZ.
Answer:
Since magnesium = 2, and potassium = 1, magnesium is greater than potassium (2 > 1).
If we assign these elements letters, m and p respectively,
The ration of boy campers to total campers is 8:15, and the ratio of girl campers to total campers is 7:15. Using this information, we can answer this question by setting up proportions.
<u>For boys:</u>
<em>*Cross multiply*</em>
15x=1560
<em>*Divide both sides by 15*</em>
x=104
There are 169 boy campers.
<u>For girls:</u>
<em>*Cross multiply*</em>
15x=1365
91=x
There are 91 girl campers.
Hope this helps!!
First of all, you can move the +2x to the other side:
-11 = -26 - 2x
Then you can move the -26 to the other side and then simplify:
-11+26 = -2x
15 = -2x
Then you can divide both sides by 2:
7.5 = -x
Then you can flip the sides and the signs around:
x = -7.5
No, The answer is not -7, it is -7.5
Hope this helps! :)
