A)2y - 1/2 = -1/3

2y=-1/3+1/2

FIND THE LCM TO MAKE THE FRACTIONS LIKE FRACTIONS

LCM OF 3 AND 2 IS 6

-1/3*2=-2/6

1/2*3=3/6

-2/6+3/6=1/6

2y=1/6

y=1/6 ÷ 2

TAKING THE RECIPROCAL,

RECIPROCAL OF 2 IS 1/2

y=1/6*1/2

y=1/12

B) 6 + 5 (a - 1) = 30

6+(5)*(a)+(5)*(−1)=30(Distribute)

6+5a+−5=30

(5a)+(6+−5)=30(Combine Like Terms)

5a+1=30

5a=30-1

5a=29

a=29/5

15.sum of three consecutive integers=48

let the numbers be x ,x+1,x+2

x+x+1+x+2==48

3x+3=48

3x=48-3

3x=45

x=45/3

x=15

x+1=15+1=16

x+2=15+2=17

the numbers are 15,16,17

Value of x for 12(x-2)+3x=1/2(x+6)+2​
Damm [24]

Answer:

The value of x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

12\left(x-2\right)+3x=\frac{1}{2}\left(x+6\right)+2

  • Expand 12(x-2) = 12x - 24
  • Expand 1/2(x+6) = 1/2x + 3

so the equation becomes

12x-24+3x=\frac{1}{2}x+3+2

simplifying

15x-24=\frac{1}{2}x+5

15x=\frac{1}{2}x+29

multiplying both sides by 2

30x = x + 58

subtracting x from both sides

30x - x = 58 - x

29x = 58

divide both sides by 29

\frac{29x}{29}=\frac{58}{29}

simplifying

x = 2

Therefore, the value of x = 2

It takes 8 hours for 4 men to paint a room.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

16 men would be needed to paint the room in 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion to solve the problem given, but first we need to determine whether it is a direct or indirect proportion.

If the number of men are increase, the time taken to do the work will decrease, If the number of men are decrease, the time taken to do the work will increase. Therefore, this is an indirect proportion.

We are going to arrange the data inversely.

Let x be the number of men needed to paint the room in two hours

8 hours =  2 hours

    x        = 4 men

Cross-multiply

2×x = 8×4

2x = 32

Divide both-side of the equation by 2

2x/2 = 32/2

x = 16 men

16 men would be needed to paint the room in 2 hours

Problem If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that the dice show the same number?
shusha [124]
Lets say yu are trying to roll a 4 on both of the dice the probability for both is 1/6 so multiply 1/6 × 1/6 and you get 1/36
so the probability for rolling the same number on each dice is 1/36
hope this helps!
