Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 16 = 8
Isolate the x
You can do this by adding 16 to each side.
x - 16 = 8
+16 +16
8 + 16= 24
x = 24

Answer:
x-y=2
I don't get why they are asking you what is 2-5. That seems super basic compared to the other question it is with. Since 5-2=3, then 2-5 or -5+2=-3.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are going to use identity x^2-y^2=(x-y)(x+y)
x^2-y^2=10
(x-y)(x+y)=10
(x-y)(5)=10
Since (2)(5)=10, this implies x-y=2.
Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).
Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.
Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).
"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.
xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k
Now, when x = 8 children,
8y = 1680
y = 210
Answer:
1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
3/9 for the first
2/8 for the second
3/9= 1/3
2/8= 1/4
1/4 x 1/3= 1/12
