-40-8b=-6(1+7b) what’s the answer

Andre45 [30]

$\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{-40-8b=-6(1+7b)}\\\mathsf{SIMPLIFY\ both\ sides\ of\ your\ equation}\\\mathsf{-40-8b=-6(1+7b)}$

$\mathsf{Distribute\ the\ RIGHT\ side\ of\ the\ equation }\\\mathsf{Distribute [the\ formula\ is: a(b+c)=a(b)+a(c)=ab+ac]}\\\mathsf{-6(1)+(-6)}(7b)\\\mathsf{-6(1)=-6}\\\mathsf{-6(7b)=-42b}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow\ =-6+(-42b)}$

$\mathsf{-40-8b=-6+(-42b)}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow -8b-40=-42b-6}$

$\mathsf{ADD\ by\ 42b\ on\ your\ sides}\\\mathsf{-8b-40+42b=-42b-6+42b}\\\mathsf{SOLVE\ above\ correct\ to\ get\ us\ to\ the\ next\ step!}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow 34b-40=-6}$

$\mathsf{ADD\ by\ 40\ on\ your\ sides}\\\mathsf{34b-40+40=-6+40}\\\mathsf{Cancel\ out\ -40+40\ because\ that\ gives\ the\ result\ of\ 0}\\\mathsf{-6+40=34}\\\mathsf{\rightarrow New\ equation: 34b = 34}$

$\mathsf{DIVIDE\ both\ of\ your\ sides\ by\ 34}\\\mathsf{\dfrac{34b}{34}=\dfrac{34}{34}}\\\\\mathsf{Cancel\ out: \dfrac{34b}{34}\ because\ that\ gives\ you\ the\ result\ of\ 1b}\\\\\mathsf{Keep:\dfrac{34}{34}\ because\ it\ solves\ for\ b}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{34}{34}=34\div34=1}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{Thus\ your\ answer\ is:\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{b=1}}}}}}}}\checkmark$

You spend 15 minutes reading email. You then spend 3 hours watching television. Write the ratio of the amount of time spent read

timurjin [86]

The amount of time spent reading email to the amount of time spent watching television is 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Time to read email = 15 minutes

Time on television = 3 hours = 3*60 minutes = 180 minutes

Ration is the fraction between two things. In this case, the ration is from the amount of time spent reading email to the amount of time spent watching television

So,

Required ratio will be: 15/180

Simplifying => 1/12

So,

The amount of time spent reading email to the amount of time spent watching television is 1/12
