Answer: The comic book was $3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of 5x=8, it should have been 5+x=8 because he only purchased a single comic book. Subtract 5 from 8 and your X value is 3.

Answer:

Liam spent $3 on the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Liam bought a comic book and had $5 left.

He had a total of $8 walking into the store, so he spent 8-5=3 dollars on the comic book.

Liam used the equation 5x=8 to model the problem.

This is wrong. The correct form would have been 8-x=5 or 5+x=8 where x represents the amount of money he spent.

Hence, Liam spent $3 on the book.

Mezclas de alimentos. Un chef repostero creó una solución de azúcar de 50 onzas constituida por 34% de azúcar con una solución d
Kay [80]

Answer:

Las cantidades empleadas para su preparación son: 15 onzas de solución al 20 % y 35 onzas de solución al 40 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Podemos estimar la proporción de ingredientes mediante el siguiente promedio ponderado:

0.34= \frac{0.2\cdot m_{A} + 0.4\cdot m_{B}}{m_{A}+m_{B}} (1)

Donde:

m_{A} - Masa de la solución al 20 %, en onzas.

m_{B} - Masa de la solución al 40 %, en onzas.

Podemos simplificar la formula como sigue:

0.2\cdot x + 0.4\cdot (1-x) = 0.34 (2)

Donde x es la proporción de la solución al 20 % dentro de la solución final, sin unidades.

Ahora resolvemos para x en (2):

0.4-0.2\cdot x = 0.34

0.2\cdot x = 0.06

x = \frac{0.06}{0.2}

x = 0.3

Este resultado quiere decir que la solución al 34 % es el resultado de 30 % de la solución al 20 % y 70 % de la solución al 40 %. Si conocemos que la solución final tiene una masa de 50 onzas, entonces las cantidades empleadas para su preparación son: 15 onzas de solución al 20 % y 35 onzas de solución al 40 %.

You have $10 to go bowling with your friends. You need to rent shoes for $4. Each game (g) costs $3. Write and solve an equation
dexar [7]

Answer:

  • The equation is: x = (y - $4) / g

Where x is the number of games you can play;

y is the amount you have

and g is the cost of each game

  • You can play only 2 games

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, you have $10 to go bowling and you need to rent shoes for $4. Hence, after renting the shoes, you will have $10 - $4 left, that is you will have $6 left. To determine the number of games you can play, that will be the amount you have left after renting shoes divided by the cost of each game.

Let the number of games you can play be x games

and the amount you have be y

and the cost of each game be g

Hence,

x = (y - $4) / g

From the question,

y = $10

and g = $3

∴ x = ($10 - $4)/ $3

x = $6 / $3

x = 2

Hence, you can play only 2 games

5/8
6/3
7/10
These are all the answers 4/8 is 1/2 and 5/8 is over it there is no half of 3 but 6/3 is 2 and 2 is a whole number it's over 1/2
5/10=1/2 and 7/10 is over it 1/4 isn't an answer because 2/4=1/2 6/12=1/2 but it says over 1/2 and finally 5/12 isn't it because like I said above 6/12 is 1/2
