Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's represent the total number of marbles with the variable t. We have the following information.

1/2t+1/6t+8=t (1/2 of total are red, 1/6 of total are blue, 8 are white, add them up to get total)

Now, we solve for t.

1/2t+1/6t+8=t

We combine like terms.

2/3t+8=t

We subtract t from both sides.

-1/3t+8=0

We subtract 8 from both sides.

-1/3t=-8

We divide both sides by -1/3.

t=24

Therefore, there ae 24 total marbles in the bag.

Have a wonderful day! :D

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 60% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 85% p
elena-s [515]
Make 2 equations from the question first
x is the number of pints for type 1
y is the number of pints for type 2

The equation
x + y = 120
60% x + 85% y = 65% (x + y)

Solve the equation
From the 2nd equation
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65(x + y)
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65x + 0.65y
0.85y - 0.65y = 0.65x - 0.6x
0.2y = 0.05x
y = 4x

From the 1st equation
x + y = 120
x + 4x = 120
5x = 120
x = 24

y = 4x
y = 96

The first type should be 24 pints, the second type should be 96 pints

-4(5+n) = -12 need help​
user100 [1]

First, simplify out the brackets:

-20 - 4n = -12

Then, combine like terms by moving the -20 to the other side

-4n = -12 + 20

-4n = 8

Divide by -4 on both sides to isolate the n

n = 8/-4

n = -2
