From the information given, each batch of cookies requires 1/6 of a bag of flour.

So how many batches can be gotten from 5/6 of the bag of flour?

We form an equation

1batch  = 1/6

x batches = 5/6

Where x is the number of batches from 5/6 bag of flour.

Cross multiplying this equation we get:

x * 1/6 = 1 * 5/6

simplify it:

x * 0.16 = 1 * 0.83

x = 1 * 0.83 / 0.16

x = 0.83 / 0.16

x =  5.2

Therefore  factory made approximately 5 batches of cookies yesterday.

1. Gavin and Seiji both worked hard over the summer. Together, they earned a total of $425. Gavin earned $25 more than Seiji. Ho
Gre4nikov [31]
Let x = the amount that Seini earned
Then x + 25 = the amount that Gavin
The amount Gavin earned would also = 425 - x (your directions asked you to have 2 equations.)
Together they earned 425:
x + (x + 25) = 425
2x + 25 = 425
2x = 400
Now divide both sides by 2 to find x.

Use all of this data to satisfy the directions.

Find the area of the equilateral triangle
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that the side length is s.  Imagine that one side is level.  Draw a vertical line through the top vertex perpendicular to the base (level side).  Label this vertical line "h."  Then h and s are related as follows:

                               √3          h

sin 60 degrees = ------- = --------

                                 2           s

                                                                   s√3

and so h = the height of the triangle =  -----------

                                                                       2

The area of this triangle is (1/2)(base)(height), which here is:

(1/2)(s/2)( s√3 /2), or

        (s^2)√3

A = ---------------

How do I solve this 9x-(x-24)=2x-(-5+x)
Viefleur [7K]
Combine like terms
8x+24=x+5
subtract x from both sides

8x+24=x+5
-x -x
7x+24=5
subtract 24 from both sides
7x+24=5
-24 -24
7x = -19
divide 7 from both sides
7x = -19
7x/7 = -19/7

x= -19/7
