Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:
5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13
(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)
-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0
There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.
(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
40%less
You take 36/60
That equals 60%
This means that 36 is 60% of 60
So in 24 is 40% of 60 or 36 is 40% less than 60
Answer:
12:30 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
8:30 am pond is empty
10:30 am pound is 1,400 gallons full
time? pound is 2,800 gallons full
from 8:30 to 10:30 are 2 hours so the rate of filling up is
1,400 gallons in 2 hours
to have a whole pond filled we need another 2 hours because
in another 2 hours will have another 1,400 gallons so a pound full. 8:30 am + 2hours = 12:30 pm
8:30 am pond is empty
10:30 am pound is 1,400 gallons full
12:30 pm pound is 2,800 gallons full.
The solution 349 is given, and its number 3, 4 and 9 determine how many times 13 can be subtracted:
The first subtraction is 3x13 (x100) = 3900
The second subtraction is 4x13 (x10) = 520
The third subtraction is 6x13 = 78
So the answer is 520, which is also what you get when you subtract 78 from 598 of course.
