Let the number that wll be added be x, then
-7/9 + x = 5
x = 5 + 7/9 = 5 7/9 or 52/9
Answer:
Distribute the 5 to get 10a-15=20+a and solve
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = (-1/4)x - 4 has a y-intercept of (0, -4). Place a dark dot at (0, -4).
Now we use the info from the slope, -1/4:
Starting with your pencil point on the dot (0, -4), move the pencil point 4 units to the right and then 1 unit down. You will now be at (4, -5). Place a dark dot there.
Then draw a straight, solid line through (0, -4) and (4, -5).
To add, subtract, multiply or divide the number given to get a whole number or an integer
The answer would be 11 gallons.
The tub starts with 32 gallons. Every minute it loses 3 gallons.
So after 1 minute it has lost 3 gallons. For example:
32-3= 29 Meaning that after 1 minute the tub has 29 gallons left.
Now you have to remember that the tub is draining for 7 minutes. So it is losing 3 gallons 7 times, because it loses 3 gallons each minute and there are 7 minutes.
We can use multiplication to find how many gallons the tub loses after 7 minutes. This sign “X” basically means “groups of”. We have 7 groups of 3, or
7 X 3
This is the same as saying we have 3, 7 times. Written like this:
3+3 +3 +3 +3 +3 +3 = 21
So after 7 minutes the tub has lost 21 gallons.
Now we take the original number of gallons and take away what was lost:
32-21=11
So there are 11 gallons left after 7 minutes.
Please let me know if you need any further explanation. Hope this helped.
