First you have to multiply the 0.6 of the small shakers times two which gives us 1.2 the amount of salt of the large shakers. divide the 18.6 by 1.2 which is 15.5 the amount going into the 8 shakers. Then subtract 15.5 from 18.6 which gives us 3.1. Then you divide that by 0.6 = 5. 5 small shakers can be filled with the remaining salt.
Same question
x+y=30
x is 1/5 of y
x=y/5
subsitute
y/5+y=30
multily both sidse by 5
y+5y=150
add
6y=150
divide both sides by 6
y=25
subsitute
x=y/5
x=25/5
x=5
the numbers are 5 and 25
One way to find
is to notice that the part on the left hand side within the parentheses can be written as a square:
So you could write
Since these two expressions are equal, and the bases are the same, you know the exponents must be equal, with the exponent on the right hand side being 1. So
, or
.
