Answer:
6(x-8)=5-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x
so we have six times the difference between a number and 8
that is 6(x-8).
is equal to 5 less than twice the number ..we have
=5-2x.
therefore, our answer becomes:
6(x-8)=5-2x
Yes, they both are 2/7
Proof: Left-hand side
Simplify the following:
12/42
The gcd of 12 and 42 is 6, so 12/42 = (6×2)/(6×7) = 6/6×2/7 = 2/7:
Answer: 2/7
Right-hand side:
Simplify the following:
10/35
The gcd of 10 and 35 is 5, so 10/35 = (5×2)/(5×7) = 5/5×2/7 = 2/7:
Answer: 2/7
Answer:
13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the relationship is times 1.125
meaning 9 times 1.125 is 8
Thus 12 times 1.125 is 13.5
Answer:
y= 2,75
Step-by-step explanation:
6 = 3 + 5 (y-2)
6=8(y-2)
6/8=y-2
¾=y-2
0,75+2=y
y= 2,75
Apples . . . . . 40 pounds
Oranges . . . . 5 pounds
Ratio of apples to oranges = 40 pounds / 5 pounds = 8 / 1 .
