Answer:
1.) k = 5
2.) n = -20
3.) p = -13
4.) m = -450
5.) b = -38
6.) n = -24
7.) x = 21
8.) x = 12
9.) b = -2
10.) b = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve all equations, do the reciprocal, or opposite of what is being done. For example, if a number and a variable are being multiplied, you would divide by the number to solve.
1.) 55 = 11k
(11 and k are being multiplied, so you would divide)
Divide by 11 on both sides:
55 = 11k
/11 /11
5 = k
2.) Add 15 on both sides:
n - 15 = -35
+15 +15
n = -20
3.) Divide by -6 on both sides:
78 = -6p
/-6 /-6
-13 = p
4.) Multiply by 18 on both sides:
m/18 = -25
18(m/18) = (-25)18
m = -450
5.) Add 20 on both sides:
18 = -20 - b
+20 +20
38 = -b
Divide by -1 on both sides:
38 = -b
/-1 /-1
-38 = b
6.) Subtract 12 on both sides:
12 + n/4 = 6
-12 -12
n/4 = -6
Multiply by 4 on both sides:
4(n/4) = (-6)4
n = -24
7.) Multiply by 2 on both sides:
2(-7 + x/2) = (7)2
-7 + x = 14
Add 7 on both sides:
-7 + x = 14
+7 +7
x = 21
8.) Subtract 2 on both sides:
-4x + 2 = -22
-2 -2
-4x = -24
Divide by -4 on both sides:
-4x = -24
/-4 /-4
x = 12
9.) Add 9 on both sides:
7 = -8b - 9
+9 +9
16 = -8b
Divide by -8 on both sides:
16 = -8b
/-8 /-8
-2 = b
10.) Multiply by -3 on both sides:
-3(b - 14/-3) = (3)-3
b - 14 = -9
Add 14 on both sides:
b - 14 = -9
+14 +14
b = 5
Answer:
B. 6 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the more flour Nicholas needed for making the cake and cookies is shown below:

= 11.75 - 5.50
= 6.25 more cups of flour
Therefore to make the cookies and cakes, 6.25 more cups of flour is required or needed and the same is to be considered
hence, the correct option is B. 6 1/4
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the coordinate of the midpoint of segment QB, first, find the distance from Q to B.
QB = |4 - 8| = |-4| = 4
The coordinate of the midpoint of QB would be at ½ the distance of QB (½*4 = 2).
Therefore, coordinate of the midpoint of QB = the coordinate of Q + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6
OR
Coordinate of B - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6
Coordinate of the midpoint of QB = 6
Coordinate of W = -8
Coordinate of A = 0
distance from W to A (WA) = |-8 - 0| = |-8| = 8
The coordinate of the midpoint of WA would be at ½ the distance of WA = ½*8 = 4.
Therefore, coordinate of the midpoint of WA = the coordinate of W + 4 = -8 + 4 = -4
Or
Coordinate of A - 4 = 0 - 4 = -4
Coordinate of the midpoint of WA = -4
Now, let's find the midpoint between the two new coordinates we have found, which are -4 and 4
Distance of the segment formed by coordinate -4 and 4 = |-4 - 4| = |-8| = 8
Midpoint = ½*8 = 4
Coordinate of the midpoint = -4 + 4 = 0
Or
4 - 4 = 0
