Answer:
r = 4
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Alg</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
-5 + 22 = r - 4 + 3r + 5
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>r</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 17 = 4r + 1
- Subtract 1 on both sides: 16 = 4r
- Divide 4 on both sides: 4 = r
- Rewrite: r = 4
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in r to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: -5 + 22 = 4 - 4 + 3(4) + 5
- Add/Subtract: 17 = 3(4) + 5
- Multiply: 17 = 12 + 5
- Add: 17 = 17
Answer:
The hens are the independent variable
Step-by-step explanation:
An independent variable is something that isn't dependent on anything else. Whose laying the eggs? The hens right? So the number of eggs laid is dependent on the number of hens laying them. Basically the hens are the independent variable because the number of eggs is relying on the number of hens laying them.
You need to make both numbers the same denominator (bottom number). Do this by multiplying. So for the first question you need 15 as the denominator. 3x3=9 5x3=15 first one is 9/15. Then its 1x5=5 and 3x5=15. Then you add 9+5 to get 14. The denominator stays the same. 14/15. This cannot be reduced. If reduced, you would be able to divide both numbers by the same number.
1. 14/15
2. 5/6
3. 1/2
4. 13/24
5. 13/24
6. 9/10
7. 5/9
8. 11/35
9. 5/8
10. 1/2
Let, Number of multiple choice = x
Number of short answer question = y
Now, x + y = 20
& 3x + 11y = 100
Multiply 1st equation by 3, and subtract from eq,2,
3x + 3y = 60
After subtraction,
8y = 40
y = 40/8
y = 5
Now, substitute in eq (1),
x + 5 = 20
x = 15
In short, There are 15 Multiple choice & 5 short answer questions
Hope this helps!
