1 answer:

3 0

1. You have that Karen made 40 cakes and she gives 1/5 to Andrew and 10% to Chris, then you have:

40 cakes=5/5=1
1/5 to Andrew⇒40x1/5=8
10% to Chris=40x0.10=4

1/5----8
x----4

x=4(1/5)/8
x=1/10

2. The fraction of the 40 cakes that she have left is:

1-1/5-1/10

Therefore, the answer is: 7/10

Can someone help me simplify (2n + 2) + (8 + 8)

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lets Combine Like Terms. The only combineable terms are 8 and 8. So if we combine them they will equal 16. And we will have (2n+2)=16

2. Let's isolate the variable. We can do this by subtracting 2 from both sides. This will come out to 2n+14.

3. Let's further isolate the variable. We can do this by dividing both sides by two, which will finally come out to n=7

2(x - 2) = -4x + 44 what does x equal

Komok [63]

2(x - 2) = -4x + 44

First, expand. / Your problem should look like: $2x - 4 = -4x + 44$
Second, add 4 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: $2x = -4x + 44 + 4$
Third, simplify -4x + 44 + 4 to get -4x + 48. / Your problem should look like: $2x = -4x + 48$
Fourth, add 4x to both sides. / Your problem should look like: $2x + 4x = 48$
Fifth, add 2x + 4x to get 6x. / Your problem should look like: $6x = 48$
Sixth, divide both sides by 6. / Your problem should look like: $x = \frac{48}{6}$
Seventh, simplify $\frac{48}{6}$ to 8. / Your problem should look like: $x = 8$

Answer: x = 8

The measures of two complementary angles are in the ratio 8:1. how many degrees are in the larger angle?

djverab [1.8K]

Since the measures of the two angles are in the ratio 8:1, this means the bigger angle's is 8x and the smaller angle is x. Since they are complementary, they add to 90°, so you create the equation 8x+x=90°. This can be simplified to 9x=90°. Then, you divide 90 by 9 to get 10. This means x=10. Next, you replace x with 10 to find the measure of the bigger angle. 8x10=80, so the larger angle is 80°.
