Answer:
The goal in solving an equation is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation and a number on the other side of the equation. To isolate the variable, we must reverse the operations acting on the variable. We do this by performing the inverse of each operation on both sides of the equation.
Reverse addition and subtraction (by subtracting and adding) outside parentheses. Reverse multiplication and division (by dividing and multiplying) outside parentheses. When multiplying or dividing by a negative number, flip the inequality sign. It does not matter if the number being divided is positive or negative
It's necessary to apply inverse operations on both sides of the equals signs so that you can solve for the variable and balance the equation.
Multi-step inequalities are solved using the same processes that work for solving equations with one exception. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol. (Much like when you divide by a negative number, the sign of the inequality must flip! Here's why: When you multiply both sides by a negative value you make the side that is greater have a "bigger" negative number, which actually means it is now less than the other side!)
Five times two times three times fifteen
Answer:
X = 12
Y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
X + Y = 16
X = 3Y
3Y + Y = 16
4Y = 16
Y = 4
X + 4 = 16
X = 12
Expand the expression?
Perform indicated multiplication:
7a(2a)+7a(-5)-4(2a)-4(-5)
14a^2-35a-8a+20 combine like terms, ie (-35a-8a)=-43a
14a^2-43a+20
A ratio is comparing one thing to another (numbers in this case). You can write ratios in many ways
here’s three different ways.
There are four girls and and 2 boys.
The ratio of girls to boys is:
4:2
4 to 2
4/2
*THE RATIO MUST ALWAYS BE IN ORDER!!! If boys come first in the problem WRITE THE BOYS NUMBER FIRST! If girls come first, WRITE THE GIRLS FIRST IN THE RATIO!!! (That’s a very common mistake) hope this helps!
