C= two step equations require all number to be whole number in order to solve.
Here is an example that disproves that:
.5x + 8= 18
<u> -8 -8</u>
<u>.5</u>x = <u>10
</u>.5 .5
x = 20 (.5 is certainly not a whole number but I solved it anyway)
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
8x = - 4(x + 3)
8x = -4x - 12
+4x +4x
<u>12x = -12</u>
12 12
x = -1
- Remember, a negative times a positive equals a negative
- Remember, a negative divided by a positive equals a negative
Hope this helps you!!! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Dosage per kg per day = 8mg
2 doses = 4mg
If a person weighs 82 pounds =? mg
1kg = 2.205 pounds
So 82 ÷ 2.205 = 37. 195 kg
So he should receive 37. 195 mg every 12 hours
