This equation basically says that a number plus 3/5 equals 2 so we can simply:
2 - 3/5 = x
Therefore x equals 1 & 2/5 or 1.4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
the rectangular prism has ;
- length=8meters
- width=6meters
- height=3meters
<u>As</u><u> </u><u>we</u><u> </u><u>know</u><u>,</u><u> </u>
- volume =length×width×height
- V=8×6×3
Let red marbles = X.
The probability is 1 out of 5, written as 1/5
1/5 in terms of red marbles is equal to the number of red marbles divided by 5x, where 5x is the total number of marbles.
1/5 = x/5x
Now you have 5x total marbles, x red and 4x blue.
Add 5 more red and the new probability is:
(x+5)/(5x+5) = 1/3
Simplify:
3x+15 = 5x+5
Now solve for x:
Subtract 3x from both sides:
15 = 2x +5
Subtract 5 from each side:
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 10/2
X = 5
There were originally 5 red marbles.
Answer: -26
Step-by-step explanation:
2(n - 4)= 3(n + 6)
2n -8 = 3n + 18
+8 +8
2n = 3n + 26
-3 -3
-1n = 26
n= -26
