<u>1. </u>Subtract 24 from both sides
-3x = -27 - 24
Simplify -27 - 24 to -51
-3x = -51
Divide both sides by -3
x = -51/-3
Two negatives make a positive
x = 51/3
Simplify 51/3 to 17
<u>x = 17</u>
<u>2.</u> Regroup terms
n/5 - 17 = 33
Add 17 to both sides
n/5 = 33 + 17
Simplify 33 + 17 to 50
n/5 = 50
Multiply both sides by 5
n = 50 * 5
Simplify 50 * 5 to 250
<u>n = 250</u>
Answer:
Factor the numerator and denominator and cancel the common factors.
x/4+3/2 or 32/4 or Reduce the expression, if possible, by cancelling the common factors. 8 is your final answer
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the distributive property:
<em>ab</em> + <em>ac</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>b</em> + <em>c</em>)
In this case, you have
<em>a</em> - <em>a</em> (1.2⁴)
and <em>a</em> is a common factor to both <em>a</em> and <em>a</em> (1.2)⁴, so you can pull it out as
<em>a</em> (1 - 1.2⁴)
Given: Sarah can fit 7 sweaters in a box
She has 38 sweaters
the remaining sweaters will stack on the shelf in the closet.
By dividing 38 by 7 we will get:
So, she will need 5 boxes, she will put 35 sweaters in 5 boxes
The remaining sweaters = 38 - 35 = 3 sweaters
So, the answer is: 3 sweaters will go in her closet
