Answer:
6 7/8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Say the entertainment segments are each x minutes long. Then, we have the equation:
x + x + 1 1/4 = 15
2x + 1 1/4 = 15
2x = 15 - 1 1/4
We need a common denominator. 1 1/4 = 5/4 and 15 = 60/4, so we now have:
60/4 - 5/4 = 55/4. Then: 2x = 55/4
Divide by 2 from both sides:
(55/4) / 2 = 55/8 = 6 7/8
Thus, each entertainment segment is 6 7/8 minutes long.
Hope this helps!
Answer:132 combinations
Step-by-step explanation:
12=5x-13x-44
combine like terms
12 = -8x -44
add 44 to each side
12+44 = -8x
56= -8x
divide by -8 on each side
56/-8 = x
-7 =x
