S/g=7/5, s=7g/5

s=g  if  s-30=g+30  using s found above...

7g/5 -30=g+30

(7g-150)/5=g+30

7g-150=5g+150

2g=300

g=150, and since s=7g/5, s=210

So Simon started with 210 pencils and Greg started with 150 pencils.

I REALLY NEED SOMEONES HELP ON THIS PLEASE!! I NEED THIS DONE TODAY!
Rufina [12.5K]
The 5 in x - 5 needs to be negative in the table. So, change that and make everything else in that row negative.

You are then left with 3x^2 + x - 15x - 5

Simplify to 3x^2 - 14x - 5

A chicken salad recipe calls for 1 8
NARA [144]

Answer: 1.0625\ pounds or \frac{17}{16}\ pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is: "A chicken salad recipe calls for \frac{1}{8} pound of chicken per serving . How many pounds of chicken are needed to make 8\frac{1}{2}  serving".

You can convert the Mixed number to a Decimal number. Divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 2 and then add the quotient to the Whole number. Then, you get:

8+0.5=8.5

Now divide the numerator 1 by the denominator 8 to write the fraction to a Decimal number. Then:

\frac{1}{8}= 0.125

Let be "x" the amount of pounds are needed to make 8\frac{1}{2}  serving.

Then, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{1}{0.125}=\frac{8.5}{x}

Solving for "x", you get:

\frac{1}{0.125}=\frac{8.5}{x}\\\\x(\frac{1}{0.125})=8.5\\\\x=8.5*0.125\\\\x=1.0625

or \frac{17}{16}\ pounds
