P=3L-3W

Move -3W to the other side. Sign changes to +3W

P+3W=3L-3W+3W

P+3W=3L

Divide both sides by 3 to get L by itself

P/3+3W/3=3L/3

Cross out 3 and 3, divide by 3 and then becomes 1*1*W=W

Cross out 3 and 3, divide by 3 and then becomes 1*1*L=L

P/3+W=L

Answer:

L=P/3+W

Farmer Bill sold potatoes at the farm market. He sold a quarter to the first person, 4/9 of what was left to the second person,

Lelu [443]

Answer:

<em>Farmer Bill sold 120 lb of potatoes</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose farmer Bill had x lb of potatoes. He sold a quarter to the first person. A quarter is written as (1/4)x. After that, Bill had x-(1/4)x = (3/4)x.

Then he sold 4/9 of what was left to the second person, thus it was left 1-4/9=5/9 of the remaining potatoes. Multiplying both factors:

$\frac{5}{9}*\frac{3}{4}x=\frac{5}{12}x$

This is the remaining portion of the potatoes.

Finally, he sold 4/5 of it and the last 10 lb. This means 1 - 4/5 = 1/5 of the remaining is equivalent to 10 lb:

$\frac{1}{5}*\frac{5}{12}x=\frac{1}{12}x$

Thus:

$\frac{1}{12}x=10$

x = 120 lb

The five posters made for spirit week are being hung in the front hall. What is the probability the largest poster will be in th

Leto [7]

Answer:

1/20 or 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that all five posters are different, the number of ways to randomly place those posters is given by:

$N=5*4*3*2*1 = 120\ ways$

If we want the largest to be in the center and the next largest to be on its left, two poster will have a set position and only three could be randomized:

$n=3*2*1*1*1=6\ ways$
