Answer:
b = 4
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
<u>Algebra I</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
8b - 12 = 5b
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>b</u></em>
- Subtract 5b on both sides: 3b - 12 = 0
- Add 12 on both sides: 3b = 12
- Divide 3 on both sides: b = 4
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in b to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 8(4) - 12 = 5(4)
- Multiply: 32 - 12 = 20
- Subtract: 20 = 20
And we have our final answer!
Answer:
720 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = base × height
= 12 × 6
= 72 mm²
≈ 720 m² (1 mm = 10 m)
Answer:
Justin spends $14.24 on gas to travel to work.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Average speed at which Justin goes to work = 65 miles/hour
Time taken by Justin to arrive at work = 1 hour and 30 minutes = 1.5 hours [As 30 minutes =0.5 hours]
Distance he can travel per gallon of gas = 25 miles.
Cost of per gallon of gas = $3.65
Solution:
We first determine the distance Justin travels to work.
Distance = 
Distance = 
Using unitary method to find the amount of gas required to cover the distance.
If 25 miles is covered in 1 gallon of gas
Then 1 mile will be covered in = 
gallons of gas
So, to cover 97.5 miles gas required = 
gallons of gas.
Using unitary method to find the cost of 3.9 gallons of gas.
Cost of 1 gallon of gas = $3.65
So, cost of 3.9 gallons of gas will be =

Answer:
a) Debbie sold 52 boxes of fruit for $18 each plus a bonus x, for selling the boxes quickly. Find x, the bonus if Debbie sold the fruit quickly and earned $1200.
Step-by-step explanation:
The model equation is given as:
52(18) + x = 1200
a) Debbie sold 52 boxes of fruit for $18 each plus a bonus x, for selling the boxes quickly. Find x, the bonus if Debbie sold the fruit quickly and earned $1200.
52($18) + x = $1200
52(18) + x = $1200
Option a is correct
b) Katrina earned $18 plus a weekly bonus x, for managing her money wisely each week for 52 weeks. Find x, if Katrina earned $1200.
x = weekly bonus, hence, we have the equation:
$18 + (x)52 = $1200
Option b is wrong
c) Marissa has $52 in her savings account. She earns $18 for each lawn she mows. Find x, the number of weeks she needs to mow lawns in order to have a total of $1200.
This is represented as:
$52 + $18(x) = $1200
Option c is wrong
d) Edward had a balance of $52 in the bank. He added x dollars to his account last month. This week he deposited another $18. Find x, the amount Edward deposited in the bank last month if his total savings is now $1200.
This is represented as :
$52+ $x + $18 = $1200
Option d is wrong.
Therefore, the correct statement that modelled the equation is option a
