Answer:

x = -3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

4(3-2x)=15

Distribute

12 -8x = 15

Subtract 12 from each side

12-8x-12 = 15-12

-8x =3

Divide each side by -8

-8x/-8 = 3/-8

x = -3/8

\text{Solve for x:}\\\\4(3-2x)=15\\\\\text{Use the distributive property}\\\\12-8x=15\\\\\text{Subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\-8x=3\\\\\text{Divide both sides by -8}\\\\\boxed{x=-\frac{3}{8}}

Ratio of sandwiches white bread to brown bread is 10:3. 2/3 white are vegetarian, half brown are vegetarian. What fraction of th
julsineya [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

8/13

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Given in the question

Ratio of sandwiches white bread to brown bread is 10 : 3

white bread fraction = 10/13

brown bread fraction = 3/13

It is also provided that

2/3 white are vegetarian

1/2 brown are vegetarian

So

for white bread vegetables sandwich we will find 2/3 of 10

    20/3/13

for brown bread vegetable sandwich we will find 1/2 of 3

    3/2/13

adding both

 20/3/13 + 3/2/13

 8/13 (approximate)

The measure of angle 3 is 42°. <br><br> What is the measure of angle 1 in degrees?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Angle 1 is 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

So angle 1 + angle 2 + angle 3 = 180°

Angle 2 = 90°

Angle 3 = 42°

180 - 90 - 42 =  48°

Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.
Vlada [557]

Answer:

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for a:

2 (a + 5) - 1 = 3

Hint: | Distribute 2 over a + 5.

2 (a + 5) = 2 a + 10:

(2 a + 10) - 1 = 3

Hint: | Group like terms in 2 a - 1 + 10.

Grouping like terms, 2 a - 1 + 10 = 2 a + (10 - 1):

(2 a + (10 - 1)) = 3

Hint: | Evaluate 10 - 1.

10 - 1 = 9:

2 a + 9 = 3

Hint: | Isolate terms with a to the left hand side.

Subtract 9 from both sides:

2 a + (9 - 9) = 3 - 9

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

9 - 9 = 0:

2 a = 3 - 9

Hint: | Evaluate 3 - 9.

3 - 9 = -6:

2 a = -6

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 2 a = -6 by 2:

(2 a)/2 = (-6)/2

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

2/2 = 1:

a = (-6)/2

Hint: | Reduce (-6)/2 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -6 and 2.

The gcd of -6 and 2 is 2, so (-6)/2 = (2 (-3))/(2×1) = 2/2×-3 = -3:

Answer:  a = -3
