The first answer of part A is 32
So 4y means you have to multiply 4 by y, which is 20 since 4x5=20
And then you add 12, which is 32.
The second answer to part A is 40
With the second question of part a, the expression is basically saying 4 times whatever 5+3 is. So 5+3= 8, and 4(8) is 40
For part B, they are equivalent because let’s pretend y=2. 12+4y= 20. And then 4(y+3) would equal 20 because 4(2)=8 and 4(3)=12 and 8+12=20. This might not be the answer that your teacher is looking for, but it’s still a right answer so technically they can’t say it’s wrong unless you have a super unfair teacher
15/x=75/100
15/x=3/4
times 4x both sides
4*15=3x
60=3x
divide both sides by 3
20=x
Answer:
negative 3
Step-by-step explanation:
so if you know basic algebra you can make an equation 2x+10=4 simplify it to x+5=2 and if you subtract 5 from both sides you end up with x=negative three
Answer:
x = 8
y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Total small box weight = 50x [x being the number of small boxes]
Total large box weight = 80y [y being the number of large boxes]
Total boxes = x+y = 19
Total weight = 1280
<em>Determine x and y.</em>
<u>You know 2 equations. One for weight and another for number of boxes each.</u>
<u>Rewrite second equation:</u>
x+y=19
y=19-x
<u>You have to plug in one into another.</u>
1280 = 50x + 80(19-x)
<u>Solve for x</u>
1280 = 50x + 1520 - 80x
-240 = -30x
x = 8
<u>Solve for y by plugging in x into one of the equations:</u>
8+y = 19
y = 11
