It’s 35 degrees since you do 180-125 to get 35. :)
Answer:
"subtracting b, then dividing by m"
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for a particular variable, look a the operations that are being performed on that variable. Then "undo" those operations in reverse order.
Here, the operations done to x are ...
• multiply by m
• add b to the product
Using the above recipe, first we "undo" the additon of b. We accomplish that by subtracting b from both sides of the equation. This gives ...
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx . . . . . . . . . simplify
Next, we "undo" the multiplicatin by m. We accomplish that by dividing both sides of the equation by m.
(y -b)/m = mx/m
(y -b)/m = x . . . . . . . . simplify
This is your solution for x:
x = (y - b)/m
We found it by subtracting b, then dividing by m on both sides of the equation.
For this case we have the following conversion:
1 pound = 16 ounces
Then we rewrite the sack weights:
14 pounds 9 ounces = 14 9/16
9 pounds 14 ounces = 9 14/16 = 9 7/8
Then, we subtract both values:
(14 9/16) - (9 7/8) = 4.6875 = 4 + 0.6875
Rewriting:
4 + 0.6875 = 4 + 6875/1000
4 + 1375/200 = 4 + 275/40
4 + 275/40 = 4 + 55/8
Answer:
the weight of the potatoes wendy use for the potato salad is:
4 + 55/8 pounds
