Answer:
(x+8)-x
Step-by-step explanation:
if amy is 8 more than ben
we dont know ben, so he is x
you have to subtract ben from amy
so amy is 8 more than ben, you have to add 8 to ben, who is x
Answer:
140 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of water in Beaker X and y be the amount of water in Beaker Y.
<u>Then we get following equations:</u>
<u>First part</u>
- x - 50 = 3/7(y + 50)
- 7x -350 = 3y + 150
- 7x = 3y + 500
<u>Second part</u>
- x + 100 = 4(y - 100)
- x + 100 = 4y - 400
- x = 4y - 500
<u>Substitute x in first equation:</u>
- 7(4y - 500) = 3y + 500
- 28y - 3500 = 3y + 500
- 28y - 3y = 500 + 3500
- 25y = 4000
- y = 4000/25
- y = 160 ml
<u>Then finding x:</u>
- x = 4*160 - 500
- x = 640 - 500
- x = 140 ml
Initial amount of water in Beaker X is 140 ml, in Beaker Y is 160 ml
(2n+1)(2n-1)(n+5)
=(4n^2+2n-2n-1)(n+5)
=(4n^2-1)(n+5)
=4n^3-n+20n^2-5
4n^3+20n^2-n-5
16:24 students made at least 80% on the test. The question is what is the ratio of students who scored below an 80% to the total number of students. 8:24 would be the right answer, but since it is asking for the answer in the simplest form, it would be 1:3.
