-(-7y + 12) = 7y - 12
u are distributing the -sign through the parenthesis...so u take the number outside of the parenthesis (and if it just a sign, the number is 1)...and u multiply it by everything in the parenthesis.
-1(-7y + 12) = -1 * -7y + (-1) * 12 = 7y + (-12) = 7y - 12
Answer:
If you pick the number 2, you will get (2) - 10 = 8
But the way he said it, it would be: (2) - 2 * 5 = 0
The correct way would be to write the expression: (x - 3) * 5
Answer:
x = 4
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = 2
x = 2 + y
2x + 3y = 14
2(2 + y) + 3y = 14
4 + 2y + 3y = 14
4 + 5y = 14
5y = 10
y = 2
x - y = 2
x - 2 = 2
x = 4
Answer:
7/4 * pi
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of circle = pi * r^2
Find radius:
pi * 49/64 = pi * r^2
49/64 = r^2
7/8= r
Circumference of circle = 2pi * r
2 * pi * (7/8) = 7/4 * pi
Assuming that the answer is in terms of pi as the question is in terms of pi
Answer: 48

Define the number of cakes they baked in term of x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the number of cakes Kay baked be x
Kay = x
Tim = 3x ← Tim baked 3 times as many as Kay
Griff = 1.5x ← Griff baked 1/2 as many as Tim
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation and solve for x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total number of cakes baked was 88.
x + 3x + 1.5x = 88 ← Combine like terms
5.5 x = 88 ← Divide by 5.5
÷5.5 ÷5.5
x = 16
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of cakes each baked
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kay = x = 16
TIm = 3x = 16 x 3 = 48
Griff = 1.5x = 1.5(16) = 24
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Tim baked 48 cakes.
