If we divide 56 by 4 we get 14. Why by4? So that one number is 3 times the other So he had 14 balls that went into the green bags and 42 (56-14) that went into the red bags. We could just answer the question and say 14 but I think they want to know how many in each green bag.
14 and 42 don't work because they are not the same number of balls. What number is a common factor? 7 is,
We could have 2 green bags and split the 14 balls into 2 groups of 7 and with the remaining 42 - put them into 6 red bags of 7 each.
And so the answer to your question is:
7 ball in each bag = 2 bags are green, and 6 bags are red
14 balls + 42 balls = 56 bouncy balls
Answer:
32.4kg
Step-by-step explanation:
if it loses one tenth of cement;
36kg×1/10
36kg/10
3.6kg was lost
to find the remaining ; 36kg - 3.6kg = 32.4kg is left in the bag
The first integer (x) is equal to the consecutive even integers, x+2, x+4.
x = (x+2) + (x+4)
x = 2x + 6
x - 6 = 2x
x = -6 (First integer)
+2
-4 (Second integer)
+4
-2 (Third integer)
Integers: -6, -4, -2
Equation: x = (x+2) + (x+4)
Change x+y=5 to y=5-x
x+5-x=-3
0=-8
The answer is no solution. :)
