This is a standard relationship/systems of equations question. Here is how you attack it. Firstly, set up equations to represent the relationships. Ed = 4*Kim That shows that Ed has four times as many pins as Kim. Next, we see that the two have 25 together. So: Ed + Kim = 25 Now we have our two equations. In order to solve, we need to get one of the equations down to one variable. We can achieve this via substitution. The first equation tells us that we can substitute 4*Kim for Ed (in the second equation). So, let's do just that: 4*Kim + Kim = 255*Kim = 25Kim = 5 Using the first equation again, we can solve for Ed: Ed = 4*KimEd = 4*(5)Ed = 20

Just multiply 4 by 25. You get 100.

What is the solution to the following equation? 12 + 3x+7 = 0

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The answer is x=-6.33333 (-19/3)

First, add like terms (12+7), which would equal to 19.
Then isolate the variable by subtracting 19 and adding it to the other side of the equal sign.
Now with this new equation of 3x=-19, isolate again by dividing 3 from x and do the same thing to the other side (-19/3).
The answer should be -6.33 repeating, but in algebra you would give a more simplified answer. This would be -19/3

Answer: 7.5 cups of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all of the above:

2+1.5+0.5+3+1.5= 8.5 cups of sugar

Since Zach only needs 1 cup of sugar, subtract 1 from 8.5.

Therefore, your answer is 7.5 cups of sugar.
