Paul: 140 + 12x

Jacklyn: 56 + 16x

Where x is how many practice sessions he had this season

"After how many more practices will Paul and Jacklyn have completed the same number of laps?"

This means what will x be if both equations are equal to each other

140 + 12x = 56 + 16x

Isolate x in one side by subtracting both sides by 12x

140 + 12x - 12x = 56 + 16x - 12x

140 = 56 + 4x

Subtract both sides by 56 to shift the 56 from the right side to the left side

140 - 56 = 56 - 56 + 4x

84 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

84/4 = 4/4x

21 = x

x = 21

They'll have completed the same number of laps after 21 practices

Hope it helps :)

Branliest would be appreciated

A factory uses 1/8 of a barrel of raisins in each batch of granola bars. Yesterday, the factory used 3/4 of a barrel of raisins.
dimaraw [331]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a factory uses 1/8 of a barrel of raisins in each batch of granola bars and that the factory used 3/4 of a barrel of raisins yesterday.

To calculate the number of batches of granola bars that the factory made yesterday, we divide 3/4 by 1/8. This will be:

= 3/4 ÷ 1/8

= 3/4 × 8/1

= 24/4

= 6

The company made 6 batches of granola bars

a student has scores of 74%, 78% and 70% on three exams. What score is needed on a fourth exam for the student to earn an averag
Anna [14]

(74 + 78 + 70 + x) / 4 = 80

Divide each number by 4.

18.5 + 19.5 + 17.5 + x = 80

Add the numbers you know so far.

18.5 + 19.5 + 17.5 = 55.5

You need 24.5.

Now, since we divided all the others by 4, we have to multiply 24.5 by 4 to see what the exam score would be.

24.5 * 4 = 98.

To get an average of 80%, the student would need to get a 98 on their fourth exam.
