x in terms of b:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx + 10 = 16
-2bx = 6
x = 6 / -2b
x = -3/b
--------------------------------
when b = 3 then
-2(3x - 5) = 16
-6x + 10 = 16
-6x = 6
x = -1
Answer
The value of x in terms of b is -3/b
The value of x when b is 3 is -1
Answer:
0.09375 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, it is given that Samuel has 3/4 tons of mulch i.e. 0.75 tons of mulch.
Again it is given that Samuel has to spread equally this amount of mulch in 8 square yards of the plot.
Since the mulch is spread uniformly, then we can say that in each square yard of the plot (0.75/8) = 0.09375 tons of mulch is been spread.
Therefore, 0.09375 tons of mulch will be spread in each square yard. (Answer)
Answer:
- (6-u)/(2+u)
- 8/(u+2) -1
- -u/(u+2) +6/(u+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a few ways you can write the equivalent of this.
1) Distribute the minus sign. The starting numerator is -(u-6). After you distribute the minus sign, you get -u+6. You can leave it like that, so that your equivalent form is ...
(-u+6)/(u+2)
Or, you can rearrange the terms so the leading coefficient is positive:
(6 -u)/(u +2)
__
2) You can perform the division and express the result as a quotient and a remainder. Once again, you can choose to make the leading coefficient positive or not.
-(u -6)/(u +2) = (-(u +2)-8)/(u +2) = -(u+2)/(u+2) +8/(u+2) = -1 + 8/(u+2)
or
8/(u+2) -1
Of course, anywhere along the chain of equal signs the expressions are equivalent.
__
3) You can separate the numerator terms, expressing each over the denominator:
(-u +6)/(u+2) = -u/(u+2) +6/(u+2)
__
4) You can also multiply numerator and denominator by some constant, say 3:
-(3u -18)/(3u +6)
You could do the same thing with a variable, as long as you restrict the variable to be non-zero. Or, you could use a non-zero expression, such as 1+x^2:
(1+x^2)(6 -u)/((1+x^2)(u+2))
Well you know you keep the 7. 1/3 well you see it as .3333 so just go 7.33 because 7.333 and since it's a 3 you keep it.
The answer is 20%
If 50 is your 100%, take 100 and 90 for example it would be obvious that is it 10% off, so with 50 since it is half of 100 you double the 10% which will be 20%. :)
