Answer:

1/6a-1/6, a=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! I can definitely explain :)

-2/3a+5/6a-1/6

Multiply the two terms (the first two), to have common denominators!

The common lowest (easiest to deal with) denominator is 18. So, multiply the first term (-2/3a) by 6/6 and the second term (5/6a) by 3/3!

-12/18a+15/18a-1/6

Now, add those together!

3/18a-1/6

Now simplify!

1/6a-1/6

If you want, you can solve for a!

1/6a=1/6

a=1

Hope this helps! Please mark brainliest :)

$\bf \cfrac{18}{32}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 3\cdot 3}{2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 3}{2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{9}{16}}\qquad \checkmark \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{27}{48}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 3\cdot 3}{2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 3}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 3}{2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{9}{16}}\qquad \checkmark$

Kaylee and Olivia go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends.

The price of one bag of popcorn is $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x represent the cost of a bag of popcorn

y represent the cost of a drink.

According to given statement;

4x+12y=30 Eqn 1

x+6y=11.25 Eqn 2

Multplying Eqn 2 by 2

$2(x+6y=11.25)\\2x+12y=22.50\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 1

$(4x+12y)-(2x+12y)=30-22.50\\4x+12y-2x-12y=7.50\\2x=7.50$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{7.50}{2}\\x=3.75$

4x+12y=30 and x+6y=11.25 can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink.

The price of one bag of popcorn is $3.75

Which of the following expressions are equivalent to -19/8 x(-50)

dmitriy555 [2]

1. Move the negative sign to the left.

- $\frac{19}{8}$ $X$ *-50

2. Use this rule: $\frac{a}{b}$ $*$ $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{ac}{bd}$

- $\frac{19x*-50}{8}$

3. Simplify - $\frac{-950x}{8}$

4. Move the negative sign to the left.

-(-950x/8)

5. Simplify 950x/8 to 475x/4

6. Remove parentheses.
