Where the pic or question?
Step-by-step explanation:
2x/3 - x/3 = x/3
they both have the same denominators (number at the bottom of the fraction) so all you have to do it subtract the numerators (top of the fraction) together. 2x-x =x, that's why it's x on the numerator for the answer
hope this helps
The equation should look like :
[H+] = (1-a)(x) + (a)(y)
Where:
5.8 = -log [H+]
5.0 = -log x
6.9 = -log y
(1-a) = proportion of x
<span>a = proportion of y
so calculating a will give you the result of how many ounces are required</span>
Answer:
The value of x is -29.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given an algebraic equation and have one goal: solve for x. We can use simplifying techniques as well as addition and subtraction to solve this equation.
Now that we have solved for x, we can plug in -29 to see if we get a true statement.
Because we ended up with a true statement, we have determined that the value of x is -29.
Answer:
Linda: 3 ; Laura: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that Linda + Laura's age is 18, and that Linda is 12 years younger than her sister.
Let "Linda" = x , "Laura" = y:
x + y = 18
x = y - 12
First, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:
(y - 12) + y = 18
Simplify.
2y - 12 = 18
Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First add, then divide.
2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)
2y = 18 + 12
2y = 30
(2y)/2 = (30)/2
y = 30/2
y = 15
Next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).
x = y - 12
x = (15) - 12
x = 3
Linda's age is 3, Laura's age is 15.
