16 ounces = 1 pound
>> 1 ounce = (1/16) pound
>> 152 ounce = (1/16)x152 pound
>> 152 ounce = 9.5 pound

So the final answer is 9.5 pound

First make a comparison
pound : ounce = 1 : 16
pound : ounce = x : 152

The ratio
x : 152 = 1 : 16
x/152 = 1/16

Second, find x with the help of the ratio
x/152 = 1/16
move 152 to the right side, it become multiplication
x = 1/16 × 152
x = 152/16
x = 9.5

Hence, 152 ounces is 9.5 pounds

Solve the equation, and check the solutions √(x+9)/4=3.

Answer:

Solution: x = 135

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

First, let´s write the equation:

√(x + 9) /4 = 3

Multiply by 4 both sides of the equation

√(x + 9) = 12

square both sides of the equation

x + 9 = 144

subtract 9 to both sides of the equation

x = 135

Let´s check the solution:

√(x + 9) /4 = 3

x = 135

√(135 + 9) /4 = 3

√(144) /4 = 3

12/4 = 3

3 = 3

Then, x = 135 is the solution to the equation.

Y/3 + 8 = -2 solve for y a. -30 b. -18 c. 18 d. 30

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{a.\ -30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{y}{3}+8=-2\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\\\dfrac{y}{3}+8-8=-2-8\\\\\dfrac{y}{3}=-10\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{y}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(3)(-10)\\\\y=-30$
