8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x:  0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1
The original weight was 16.41 ounces

Answer:

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

New weight = 15.1 ounce

Old weight = x ounce

(Old weight) -8% of old weight= new weight

X - 0.08x= 15.1

X(1-0.08)= 15.1

X*0.92= 15.1

X= 15.1/0.92

X = 16.413

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6}{8}=2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6:2}{8:2}=2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\text{Find}\ LCD:\\\\\text{List of multiples of 3:}\ 0,\ 3,\ 6,\ 9,\ \boxed{12},\ 15,\ ...\\\text{List of multiples of 4:}\ 0,\ 4,\ 8,\ \boxed{12},\ 16,\ ...\\\\12=3\cdot4\\\\\text{therefore}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{2\cdot4}{3\cdot4}=\dfrac{8}{12}\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{3\cdot3}{4\cdot3}=\dfrac{9}{12}\\\\2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{3}{4}=2\dfrac{8}{12}+12\dfrac{9}{12}=(2+12)+\dfrac{8+9}{12}=14+\dfrac{17}{12}\\\\=14+1\dfrac{5}{12}=15\dfrac{5}{12}

Solve:<br>3 = -2v - V<br>V=​
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

V = −1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3=−2v−v

3=−2v+−v

3=(−2v+−v)(Combine Like Terms)

3=−3v

3=−3v

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−3v=3

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

<u>−3v</u>  = <u>3</u>

-3     -3

v=−1
