The number of loaves can be determined with dividing the butter by the number of cups needed for a loaf.
loaves = 2 1/2 ÷ 3/4

Change into improper fraction
loaves = 2 1/2 ÷ 3/4
loaves = 5/2 ÷ 3/4

Change into multiplication
loaves = 5/2 ÷ 3/4
loaves = 5/2 × 4/3
loaves = 20/6
loaves = 10/3
loaves = 3.3
Because the number of loaves can't be a fraction, round it to the smaller whole number

Roger can make 3 loaves of bread

Gabrielle is x years old.
Felicia is 6 years older.....so Felicia is x + 6
the mom is twice as old as felicia...so the mom is 2(x + 6)
the aunt is x years older then mom....so the aunt (tanya) is 2(x + 6) + x

so Tanya/s age is :
2(x + 6) + x =
2x + 12 + x =
13x + 12 <===

What the answer to this equation X/8+4=5 ?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The answer to this equation is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{8} +4=5\\$

First: Subtract

$8-4=4$

$5 > 4$ meaning that 5 is greater than 4.

You still need another number to make it equal than or greater than or equal to five.

$5-4=1$

Since 5 minus 4 does equal 1

You need somewhere to divide it from to get 1 so you can add up the 4 to it and get the answer to the equation.

Lastly: Divide

$\frac{8}{8} =1$

$1+4=5\\5=5\\4\neq 5$

Now, if you do 8/8 which equals 1, 1+4 = 5; Now everything is, equaled up!

So in conclusion...

$\frac{x}{8} +4=5\\x=8\\\frac{8}{8}=1\\1+4=5\\5\neq5$

If it's written correctly, I believe the points are (5 , 140) and (20 , 520). First equation indicates a parabola and the second a line. The parabola crosses the line at two points.
