Break fast =  1/4
Tea time =  3/5
Still 18 left.

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) = 

1/4 + 3/5 =  (1/4)*(5/5) + (3/5)*(4/4) = 5/20 + 12/20 = (5 + 12)/ 20

 = 17/20

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) =  1 - 17/20 = (20 - 17)/20 = 3/20

Fraction left = 3/20

Assuming total number of cookies in the package is x.

(3/20)x = 18

3x/20 = 18

3x = 18*20

x = 18*20/3 = 120

There were 120 cookies in the package.

Ok so
1/4 of total eaten
3/4 left
3/5 of 3/4 eaten
9/20 left
18=9/20 of whole
multiply both sides by 20
360=9 of whole
divide both sides by 9
40=whole


40 total originlly

Given f(x)=-2x-1, solve for x when f(x)=-7
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The answer is -15.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x - 1

2. 2(-7) - 1

3. (-14) - 1

4. -15

By plugging in our x value, we are able to use PEMDAS to  multiply 2 and the value of x and then, we subtract 1 from the value we got from step 3 to get -15.

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

x = 3 ± sqrt(11)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 6x + 9 = 11

Recognizing  that this is a perfect square trinomial

(x-3) ^2 =11

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt((x-3) ^2) = ± sqrt(11)

x-3 =± sqrt(11)

Add 3 to each side

x = 3 ± sqrt(11)
