Hey You!

For this question, you must use division and multiplication:

1.16/2 = 0.58

That means each pound costs $0.58.

0.58 × 5 = 2.90

So, 5 pounds of bananas cost $2.90.

1.16 ÷ 2 = .58
So cost per pound is .58
.58 x 5 = 2.9
So the cost of 5 pounds of bananas would be $2.9
Hope it helps!

$(2x-8)(7x+5)=0\iff2x-8=0\ \vee\ 7x+5=0\\\\2x-8=0\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\2x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{x=4}\\\\7x+5=0\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\7x=-5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7}\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{5}{7}}$

V-16=-32<br>I need help with the math worksheet how to solve the question

sergeinik [125]

You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.

... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b

... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0

... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V

_____

<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.
