You'd have no problem simplifying that expression if it said
-(5 cows) - (1 cow) + ( 14 cows) - (3 cows) .
You'd just add up the cows, and simplify the expression to say
5 cows .
When you see an expression that talks about 'x's instead of cows,
you get scared. It has something to do with algebra and math and
all that stuff, so you freeze.
Relax. Just make each 'x' a cow, and suddenly it almost solves itself.
Answer:
20%+9%+8%=37% so 189.99*37/100=70.3$ so 189.99-70.3=119.7$
Answer:
32 muffins
Step-by-step explanation:
one cup of milk will make 32 muffins
you can set up a proportion of milk/muffins = milk/muffins
let 'x' = number of muffins made from one cup of milk
5/8 ÷ 20 = 1 ÷ x
cross-multiply to get 5x = 20(8)
5x = 160
x = 32
Answer:
165 crackers.
Step-by-step explanation:
33x5=165 crackers
Sorry. Had to redo this with the correct answer.
Here it is...
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
Exact Form:
x = - 2/5 (fraction)
Decimal Form:
x = - 0.4 (decimal)
