The bowl can hold 32 tablespoons of sugar.
Add 3x and 9x together and then your equation should look like this, 12x + 7
Answer: 8 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Mark was remodeling his house and that he took 26 2/3 square feet from 3 different rooms.
The average change in square footage per room will be calculated as:
= 26 2/3 ÷ 3
= 80/3 × 1/3
= 80/9
= 8 8/9
Therefore, the answer is D.

Answer:
h ≤ -7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is what is known as a "2-step" problem.
The first step is to "isolate the variable term" by adding the opposite of the term on the left that does not have the variable in it. That is, we want to add -4 to both sides of the inequality.
4 -4 +2h ≤ -3 -4 . . . . add -4 to both sides
2h ≤ -7 . . . . . . . . . . variable term isolated
Now, we want to get rid of the coefficient of the variable (make it be 1), so we use the multiplicative inverse. That is, we multiply both sides of the inequality by 1/2, the reciprocal of the coefficient.
(1/2)(2h) ≤ (1/2)(-7) . . . . . multiply both sides by 1/2
h ≤ -7/2 . . . . the solution

For an inequality, multiplying or dividing by a negative number causes the direction of the comparison to be reversed. (Here, our multiplier was 1/2, not negative, so no such reversal was required.)
<u>Example</u>:
1 < 2
-1 > -2 . . . . . both sides multiplied (or divided) by -1
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
As when solving equations, you must do the same thing to both sides of the inequality.
