He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.
Hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 3x+4/2 = 9.5
3x + 4/2 = 9.5........criss cross
3x+4= 9.5×2
3x = 19-4
3x = 15
x=5 ..........divide both sides by 3
B. 7+ 2x/3= 5.......criss cross
7+2x = 5 × 3
7 + 2x = 15
2x = 15-7
2x = 8......divide both sides by 2
x = 4
Answer:
-14 = n
Step-by-step explanation:
56 = -4n
Divide each side by -4
56/-4 = -4n/-4
-14 = n
Since 24/6 = 4. So 4 is a integer, rational number, and whole number
35%.
42/120 = 0.35.
0.35 X 100 = 35. That tells us 42 is 35% of 120.
