Answer: Not possible
Step-by-step explanation: A whole number is an integer or a number without fractions. Both 15% and 40% are less than 1 since they are less than 100%; therefore, it is impossible to express them as whole numbers. They can only be expressed as the mixed numbers of 0.15 and 0.4, or 15/100 and 40/100.
Hi!
Shawna is correct because since it's multiplied to the 5-n you have to do the opposite which is division.
Dexter is also correct because after distributing you can continue solving, there is nothing wrong with that.
Hope this helps!
First, we subtract 12x from both sides. We then get -4y=-12x+48. We then divide this by -4 on both sides to get the y by itself. We then get that the equation is y=3x-12.
∛(1/8 - <em>x</em>) = -1/2
Take the 3rd power of both sides and solve:
(∛(1/8 - <em>x</em>))³ = (-1/2)³
1/8 - <em>x</em> = -1/8
2/8 = <em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 1/4
