Answer:

Personal items=15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Total number of artifacts = 72.

We are told that 2/3 of total artifacts are shards of pottery.

\text{Shards of pottery}=72*\frac{2}{3} =24*2=48

We are also told that 1/8 of total artifacts are tools.

\text{Tools}=72*\frac{1}{8}=9

Now we will find out number of personal items by subtracting combined number of shards of pottery and tools from total number of artifacts.

\text{ Personal items}=72-(48+9)

\text{ Personal items}=72-57=15

Therefore, there are 15 personal items.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

4512 handshakes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question, that there are

96 people in the room = 48 couples

Assuming that no husband or wife shakes each others hand but everyone else shakes hands exactly once

This means

48 couples will shake 94 people because they are excluded

This is calculated as

48 × 94 = 4512 handshakes

How do you solve the problem and what is the answer?<br><br>-2 = g -9<br>​
pogonyaev

Answer:

Hey Dude ok so it's g = 7 Have a nice day!

Step-by-step explanation:Simplifying

-2 = g + -9

Reorder the terms:

-2 = -9 + g

Solving

-2 = -9 + g

Solving for variable 'g'.

Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1g' to each side of the equation.

-2 + -1g = -9 + g + -1g

Combine like terms: g + -1g = 0

-2 + -1g = -9 + 0

-2 + -1g = -9

Add '2' to each side of the equation.

-2 + 2 + -1g = -9 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0

0 + -1g = -9 + 2

-1g = -9 + 2

Combine like terms: -9 + 2 = -7

-1g = -7

Divide each side by '-1'.

g = 7

Simplifying

g = 7
