Let x be the weight of her parakeet. From this, we know that her fish weighs 8x.

8x + x = 63
9x = 63
x = 7

Her fish weighs 7 x 8 ounces = 56 ounces.

Let x =the weight of the parakeet. 8x=weight of the fish. x+8x=63 <-weight of fish and parakeet together equals 63 ounces. SOLVE FOR X. 9x=63. /9 /9 x=7 <-- parakeet weighs 7 ounces. 8x= 8(7). 8x7= 56. the fish weighs 56 ounces.

A city of 6,688 has an area of 16 square miles. What is the population density of the city?
Ahat [919]
To find population density, it is population / area.

The population is 6688, divided by the area of 16.

6688/16 = 418

So the population density is 418 people per sq mile.

How do you do: -6(6a-5)=-2(8-5a)
devlian [24]

Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute the -6 on the left into the parentheses. you should get -36a + 30.

2. on the side right of the =, distribute the -2 to get -16 + 10a.

now it should look like -36a + 30 = -16 + 10a.

3. move the terms over to isolate the a value. subtract 30 to the right side to get -46 (-36a=-46+10a)

4. move the 10a on the right to the left by subtracting it to the other side.

(-46a=-46)

5.divide by -46 to get a=1
