Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

96 marbles = Box

Let's call blue marbles " 5 x " and red marbles " x "

So now an equation is setup ⇒

→ 5 x + x = 96

( Simplify )

→ 6 x = 96

( Divide by 6 from both sides to isolate x )

→ x = 16

red marbles " x " so x = 16

You would use the following equation:

96 = 5x + x

There is a total of 96 marbles. The right side of the equation represents how many blue marbles are in the box. X is red marbles in the box, since we know that red marbles is 5 times x

Add the common variables:

96 = 5x + x

96 = 6x

To solve for red marbles isolate x. To do this divide 6 to both sides. Division is the opposite of multiplication and will cancel 6 from the right side and bring it to the left

96 ÷ 6 = 6x ÷ 6

16 = x

You have 16 marbles in the box

Hope this helped!

Which is another way to check the sum of 104+34+228+877?
Alex787 [66]
The answer is digit sum method.

Digit sum method is method used to check the sum of sum numbers. If the sum of all of the digits of numbers is equal to the sum of all of the digits of the total sum, then the arithmetic process was correct.

We need to check the sum of <span>104+34+228+877:
</span>104 + 34 + 228 + 877 = 1243

Let's first summarize the digits of individual numbers:
104 *** 1 + 0 + 4 = 5
34 *** 3 + 4 = 7
228 *** 2 + 2 + 8 = 12 *** 1 + 2 = 3
877 *** 8 + 7 + 7 = 22 *** 2 + 2 = 4

Now, let's sum these sums:
5 + 7 + 3 + 4 = 19 *** 1 + 9 = 10 *** 1 + 0 = <u><em>1</em></u>

Then, let's summarize the digits of the total sum:
1243 *** 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 = 10 *** 1 + 0 = <u><em>1</em></u>

Since the sums of the digits on the both sides of equation is 1, than the arithmetic process was correct and the sum of <span>104 + 34 + 228 + 877 is really 1243.</span>

I need the answer to a and b
erica [24]

Answer:

a. x = 7

b. x = 36/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

<u>a). To find the value of x</u>

From the figure 1 we get two similar triangles, ΔABC and ADE

We can write,

AB/AD = AC/AE

3/6 = x/(x + 7)

3(x + 7) = 6 * x

3x + 21 = 6x

6x - 3x = 21

3x = 21

x = 21/3 = 7

<u>b). To find the value of x</u>

From the figure b we get

ΔABC ~  ΔEDF

AB/DE = BC/DF

4/5 = x/9

x = (4 * 9)/5 = 36/5

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-4)(−6,−4) and is parallel to the line x+6y=12x+6y=12?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

x + 6y + 30 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 6y = 12

6y = -x + 12

y = -⅙x + 2

Slope: -⅙

y - (-4) = -⅙(x - (-6))

y + 4 = -⅙(x + 6)

-6y - 24 = x + 6

x + 6y + 30 = 0
