Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that 72 and (2x + 10) add up to 90
90-72 = 18
(2x + 10) = 18
2x = 8
x = 4
7/8*8/9 = (7*8)/(8*9)
Since we have an 8 both above and below, we can erase it, and so the answer is 7/9
First, we need to get all of the r's on the same side. To do this, we need to subtract "r" from both sides.
0.25r - 0.125 + 0.5r - r = 0.5 + r - r
0.25r - 0.125 +0.5r - r = 0.5
Now, we need to add like terms.
0.25r + 0.5r - r - 0.125 = 0.5
-0.25r - 0.125 = 0.5
Now, we need to get the "r" variable by itself.
-0.25r - 0.125 + 0.125 = 0.5 + 0.125
-0.25r = 0.625
Now, we divide both sides by -0.25
(-0.25r) / (-0.25) = 0.625 / (-0.25)
r = -2.5
STEP 1
Bandages: multiply number of total kits by number of bandages per kit
9 * 24= 216 bandages total
STEP 2
Antiseptic Wipes: multiply number of total kits by number of antiseptic wipes per kit
9 * 16= 144 antiseptic wipes total
STEP 3
find difference between steps 1 & 2
= 216 bandages - 144 antiseptic wipes
= 72 more bandages
ANSWER: She packed 72 more bandages than antiseptic wipes.
Hope this helps! :)
