Rearrange the 2nd equation
-36a-24b-16c
divide the whole thing by 4 and you'll get
-9a-6b-4c
you'll realize it looks the same as your first equation except that all the + has become minus so the answer will be -7 instead for your new equation
-9a-6b-4c=-7
multiply the whole thing by 4 and you'll get
-36a-24b-16c = -28
so the answer you want is -28
If we divide 56 by 4 we get 14. Why by4? So that one number is 3 times the other So he had 14 balls that went into the green bags and 42 (56-14) that went into the red bags. We could just answer the question and say 14 but I think they want to know how many in each green bag.
14 and 42 don't work because they are not the same number of balls. What number is a common factor? 7 is,
We could have 2 green bags and split the 14 balls into 2 groups of 7 and with the remaining 42 - put them into 6 red bags of 7 each.
And so the answer to your question is:
7 ball in each bag = 2 bags are green, and 6 bags are red
14 balls + 42 balls = 56 bouncy balls
Answer:
A - the real answer is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
g²=49 (square root 49 to get 7)
B) not sure - possibly wrote the negative sign as a mistake
Let Cameron be x years old now.
-
<u>Now:</u>
Cameron = x
Uncle =3x
-
<u>4 years ago:</u>
Cameron = x - 4
Uncle = 3x - 4
-
<u>4 years ago, Uncle is 4 times older:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
-
<u>Find x:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
3x - 4 = 4x - 16
4x - 3x = 16 - 4
x = 12
-
<u>Find the age:</u>
Cameron = x = 12
-
Answer: Cameron is 12 years old now.
