Answer:
2(5+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest common factor would be 7. So now 35/7 is 5 and 14/7 is 2. Now put it in distributive property! GCF on the outside and the new numbers we just got in the inside. There's your answer! Have a great day! :)
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
After Sally had given 1/9 of her stamps to Andy, she had 280 stamps (since they now have equal shares). So 280 was 8/9 of what she started with, making the 1/9 she handed over equal to 280/8, that’s 35. And Andy was “under” by the same amount she was “over” an equal share, that’s 35 under matching her 35 over, which is 70 altogether.
By all means use algebra but you may find you can reason a word problem through in words.
Answer:
144 boys and 384 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
8 girls to every 3 boys. You can make an equation to solve this: 8x + 3x = 528. 528 = 11x. Then divide 528 by 11 to get 48. x=48. 8(48) = 384 girls. 3(48) = 144 boys.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = 3 (Coefficient of x)
y-intercept = -2
