You have to find how many kids are in eighth grade so you would multiply 34x6 and get 204 then you decide that by 1/4 and you get 51
The answer to this is 392
To solve equations, you isolate the variable you are solving for on one side and everything else on the other side.
The first step to solving this equation is to combine like terms.
Combining like terms means to add up all terms that have the same variable(s) and exponent.
If no exponent is shown, then a 1 exponent is implied. The reason why we don't show a term raised to the first power is that it doesn't have any effect on the term.
I see three terms with the x variables. We can combine them. Why? Because they all have the same variable and exponent.
I'll rearrange the left-hand side to combine all the terms with the x variable.
Now we have -3 + 2x - 4x - 2x = -6
Combine all terms that have the x variable.
-3 + 2x - 4x - 2x = -6
-3 - 4x = -6
Now we have -3 - 4x = -6
What can we do now to isolate the x variable on the left-hand side?
For starters, we can add 3 to each side of the equation.
That way the -3 term will disappear.
-3 - 4x + 3 = -6 + 3
-4x = -3
Last step.
The x variable is being multiplied by the -4. If we reverse that operation
we can get the value of x.
-4x / -4 = 3 / -4
x = 3/-4 or x = -0.75
The partial products are 4x80 and that's all because in the ones it has no actual digit
So distance = rate × time. You would do 3/4 × 5.5, which would get you 4.125.
