Answer:

24.8333 with 3 repeating.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets make an equation for this.

159 - x = 15

X is what we are loooking for so lets isolate it.

Subtract 159 on both sides.

-x = -149

Since both are negative we need to simply cross it out.

x = 149

Now he bought six books, so divide 149 by 6.

You would get 24.8333 with the 3 repeating.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Blake will jog 12 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Allison : Blake = 3 : 2

If they keep jogging at the same rate, how many blocks will Blake jog if Allison jogs 18 blocks?

Allison : Blake = 18 : x

Equate the ratios

3 : 2 = 18 : x

3/2 = 18/x

Cross multiply

3 * x = 2 * 18

3x = 36

Divide both sides by 3

x = 36 / 3

= 12

x = 12

Blake will jog 12 blocks

Explain how you know if an equation has one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution
lubasha [3.4K]
No solution would mean that there is no answer to the equation. It is impossible for the equation to be true no matter what value we assign to the variable. Infinite solutions would mean that any value for the variable would make the equation true. :)

What is 3/8 -1/8 plz help me !!!!!
Nuetrik [128]
2/8 is the answer because if you do 3-1 it would equal 2 and then you would put 2 over eight. You can even simplify it to 1/4 because 2 and 8 can both be divided by 2.
