Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x-7y = -49
i) move x to the right-hand side and change its sign
-7y = -49-x
ii) change the signs on both sides of the equation
7y = 49+x
iii) divide both sides of the equation by 7
iv) use the commutative property to reorder the terms
* commutative property: a+b = b+a
3minutes 45 seconds = 3 45/60 = 3.75 minutes
28 copies/ 1 minute = x copies/3.75 minutes
using cross products
28 * 3.75 = 1 * x
105 = x
We can print 105 copies in 3 3/4 minutes
6 posts at 8 feet apart because 8 goes into 48 equally and you get 6. 48/8=6
Hope this helps!
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer:
Nathan: 2x+30
Olivia: 4x+15
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the number of weeks
Nathans account is as follows
2x+30
(2 dollars a week plus the 30 dollars already there)
Olivia's account is as follows
4x+15
(4 dollars per week plus the 15 already in there)
