Answer:
6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
45x+34=24x+16
collect like terms, we now have;
45x-24x=16-34
21x=-18
X=18/21
X=6/7
Answer:
+ 5°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Good morning temperature = -15°
Raise in temperature = 20°
Afternoon temperature = -15° + 20°
= + 5°
Hence, temperature in after noon is equal to + 5°.
Answer:
-1/2
negative
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+5x-4=2x-8~~~First we simplify(add 6x and 5x)
11x-4=2x-8~~~Now add 4 to both sides
+4 +4
11x=2x-4~~~~Remove 2x from both sides now.
-2x -2x
9x=-4~~~~Now divide by 9x
÷9x ÷9x
x= -4/9
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
3 cups of flour produces 2 batches of dinner rolls. So, if one batch makes 15 rolls, then 2 batches makes 30 rolls. Therefore, 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls.
Laura wants to find how much flour she needs to make 12 rolls.
Here's the setup:
Let x be the number of cups of flour needed. Then,
(3 cups of flour)/(30 rolls)=(x cups of flour)/(12 rolls)
This is the set up for all equations involving ratios. The units should be consistent. Notice how I have flour/rolls=flour/rolls.
It is not necessary to solve the equation, but you should to make sure your answer makes sense. By cross-multiplying, we get x=(3*12)/30 or 1.2 cups.
This solution makes sense. Because 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls, one cup produces 10 rolls. We need slightly more than 1 cup to get 12 rolls.
