Greetings!

This can be solved by creating a simple equation.
1/4+1/6+x=1

Solve for x.
1/4+1/6+x=1
Find the LCM.
3/12+2/12+x=1
5/12+x=1
Add -5/12 to both sides.
(5/12+x)+(-5/12)=(1)+(-5/12)
Simplify.
x=1/1-5/12
Find the LCM.
x=12/12-5/12
x=7/12

He kept 7/12 of the raisins for himself.

Hope this helps.

If y varies directly as x, and y=6 as x=-1, find y for the x-value of 5
Tema [17]

Answer:

y=-30

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

y varies directly as x

so, we can write equation as

y=kx

where

k is constant of proportionality

We have

at x=-1 , y=6

so, we can use it to find k

6=k(-1)

so, we get

k=-6

now, we can plug it back

y=-6x

now, we can plug x=5

and we get

y=-6\times 5

y=-30

the tigers won twice as many football games as they lost. They played 96 games. How many games did they win?
asambeis [7]
They lost L games.
They won W games.
W = 2L

W + L = 96, but W = 2L, so

2L + L = 96

3L = 96

L = 32

W = 2L = 2 * 32 = 64

They won 64 games.
