4x-2 bc a pos x neg = neg
Answer:16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be X
Twice the sum of a number and 5
= 2X+5
Three times the difference of the number and 2
= 3(X - 2)
Since Twice the sum of X and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the X and 2, This means
2(X + 5 )= 3(X - 2)
2X +10 = 3X - 6
3X -2X = 10 + 6 = 16
X = 16
Check
2×(16+5) =3×(16-2)
2×21 = 3×14
42 = 42
Answer:
2 cups of peanut butter
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Carter's famous peanut butter cookies call for 1 cup of peanut butter for every 1/2 of a cup of oil. Today, she wants to make a huge batch with 1 cup of oil. How much peanut butter should she use?
From the above question:
1/2 cup of oil = 1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of oil = x
Cross Multiply
1/2x = 1 × 1
x = 1 ÷ 1/2
x = 1 × 2/1
x = 2 cups of peanut butter.
Therefore, for huge batch with 1 cup of oil, she should use 2 cups of peanut butter.
Answer:
A) buddy = sadie + 14
B) buddy + sadie = 136
A) buddy -sadie = 14
Adding equations A & B
2 * buddy = 150
buddy = 75 pounds
sadie = 61 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
<t =33 since triangle RUT is isosceles (RU = TU)
<r + <u + <t = 180 triangle = 180
33 + <u + 33 = 180
66 + <u = 180
< u =114
<rus = < sut from the diagram
<rus + <sut = <u
x + x = 114
2x = 114
divide by 2
x = 57
