Answer: 4r = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Ruth bought 4 rulers and each ruler is to be represented by r. She therefore bought:
= 4r
She bought these for a total of $4.00 so the equation then becomes:
4r = 4.00
Equation representing situation is: 4r = 4
Answer:
Answer choice B
Step-by-step explanation:
When you factor the equation, 12 only has 6x2 to equal the -12x. This means that you'll factor it into (3x-6)(x-2). When you set either of these equal to 0, the x value is 2.
Answer:
I don't think so.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2p-(1/4p-4)
1/2p-(1-16p/4p)
(2p-1+16p)/4p
(18p-1)/4p
2(9p-1)/4p
9p-1/2p
1/4x - 2 = 3/8
First, to start solving this, we can rearrange our fraction. Let's take 1/4x and change it to x/4. Why? Well, a variable can also be considered as the number 1.

Second, now we can continue solving for our variable (x). Let's add 2 to each side.

Third, let's simplify 3/8 + 2. (3/8 + 2 = 2.375 =19/8)

Fourth, continue trying to get the variable by itself. Multiply each side by 4.

Fifth, let's simplify 19/8 × 4. This is simple. Leave the denominator be and just do 19 × 4, which equals 76.

Sixth, our final step is to simplify our fraction. To do so, we will need to list the factors of the numerator and denominator and find the greatest common factor (GCF).
Factors of 76: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
Since 4 is our first common factor, it is considered our GCF.
Seventh, now let's divide. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF (4) to create our new simplified fraction.

Answer in fraction form:

Answer in decimal form:
The answer to this should be B since 24/42 is 1/2
