Answer: B = 9


Step-by-step explanation:


16-b=7

Rearrange so we can subtract 16 by 7

16 - 7 = 9


Substituting 9 for b and making sure it's correct.

16 - 9 = 7

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do is to subtract 16 from both side of the equation:

16 - 16 - b = 7 - 16

The 16s on the left cancel out resulting in:

-b = -9

Think of the -b as -1(9). This is multiplication. By doing the inverse operation (division) we can get rid of the negative on the b. We will divide both sides by -1.

\frac{b}{-1} = \frac{-9}{-1}

This leaves a positive b. Since both parts of the right side of the equation are negative it becomes positive ( a negative divided by a negative is a positive).

The final answer is b= 9.

Check our work by plugging in the b value (9) into the original equation:

16 - 9 = 7

7 = 7 is true so we now we have the right answer.

Howhowhow?how??? how would you calculate
Liula [17]

Ok sooooooooooo

Lets say your two fractions are

13/26 and 20/40

you can divide the bottom number by the top one and if you get the same answer for both then they are equivalent. For these you get 2 for both, which means they are equivalent.

another example would be if your fractions are

2/5 and 4/10

You can say well 2*2 equals 4 And 5*2 equals ten so these are equivalent fractions.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

64 softballs

Coach Beard currently already has 24 softballs.

When she orders 2 more buckets with 20 in each, that's another 20 + 20 = 40 softballs added to the original 24. So, let's add these two numbers:

24 + 40 = 64

Ratling [72]
Since, she has already been working for two hours (120 minutes) and has budgeted only 6 hours (360 minutes) to create the centerpieces.

Since, each centerpiece takes 15 minutes to make, the time it takes her to make x centerpieces is given by 15x.

Therefore, the correct inequality representing the situation is given by 120 + 15x <span>≤ 360.</span>

Can an answer be incorrect even if it looks reasonable?
Anna [14]

Answer:

  • <em>Yes, an answer can be incorrect even it it looks reasonable.</em>

Explanation:

Yes, an answer can be incorrect even if it looks reasonable, for two main reasons:

  • The assumptions (premises or statements) on which the reasoning is based are wrong.
  • The reasoning sounds good but it is a fallacy.

To avoid the first condition you must be sure about the facts, which may be information from an experiment that you performed or from a source. In order for an answer be correct, make sure your premises are true.

Dealing with the second condition, a fallacy is an argument that seems strictly logical but is misleading: you must learn which reasonings are really valid; this is, that the conclusion unequivocally follows from the premises.

There are rules for the arguments to be valid, and that is the object of logic study.

Fallacies are sometimes used by those interested in supporting a point of view without having true reason on their side. You should have some knowledges about logic to avoid being victim of the fallacies, which can drive you to make wrong decisions.
