Answer:

55 decrease by 5 is 50, or 55 - 5 = 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the missing number.

When you hear the words decrease, minus, that tells you to subtract.

Before we subtract, if there is a variable, we must do the opposite of subtraction, we need to add.

50 + 5 = x

Which means x = 50 + 5.

50 + 5 = 55.

Therefore, x = 55.

A recipe shows that yeast needed for a bread recipe 2 1/3 ounces. Which of the following decimals is eqivalent to this number?

Olin [163]

The correct answer is B. 2.3.

For us to know the equivalent decimals of a fraction, you have to use the numerator as the dividend, and the denominator will be your divisor.

The equation will be:

2 + ( 1 / 3 )
2 + (0.33333333)
= 2.333333

If you'll have it rounded off, you'll get the answer 2.3.

$7b+9u>1500$

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe works as a busboy at the rate of = $7 per hour

Let the number of hours he works as a bus boy this month be = $b$ hours

∴ Amount Joe would make this month working as a busboy = $\$7\times b=\$7b$

Joe works as a theater usher at the rate of = $9 per hour

Let the number of hours he works as a theater usher this month be = $u$ hours

∴ Amount Joe would make this month working as a theater usher = $\$9\times u=\$9u$

Total amount Joe would make this month = $\$(7b+9u)$

His goal is earn more than $1500 this month.

$7b+9u>1500$

F(x) = 3x - 2
f(8) = 3(8) - 2
f(8) = 24 - 2
f(8) = 22
f(-5) = 3(-5) - 2
f(-5) = -15 - 2
f(-5) = -17
f(8) - f(-5) = 22 - (-17)
f(8) - f(-5) = 39
Hope this helped! Good luck! :)
