W + 3w - 5 = 23 +5 +5 (-5 +5 cancels out and equals 0) Like terms. What you do to one side, you do to the other. 4w = 28 ---- --- 4 4 Isolate w by dividing by 4 W = 7

The boys had 5 4 6 gallons of water to share throughout the day. James drank 1 1 3 5 6 1 2 gallons and Simon drank 2 3 gallon. H
dsp73

Answer:

1\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Volume of Water = 5\frac{4}{6}

Volume drunk by James =1\frac{1}{3}

Volume drunk by Simon =\frac{2}{3}

Volume drunk by Matthew = 1\frac{1}{2}

Volume drunk by Gilbert =\frac{5}{6}

Total Volume Drunk (i.e. The Sum) = 1\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} + 1\frac{1}{2} +\frac{5}{6}=\frac{13}{3}

Volume of water Left = Total Volume of Water-Total Volume Drunk

= 5\frac{4}{6}-\frac{13}{3} =\frac{4}{3}=1\frac{1}{3}

The chs baseball team was on the field and the batter popped the ball up. the equation b(x) = 80t - 16t^2 +3.5
stellarik [79]
First, you want to establish your equations.

L=7W-2
P=60

This is what we already know. To find the width, we have to plug in what we know into P=2(L+W), our equation to find perimeter.

<span>60=2(7W-2+W) </span>

<span>Now that we only have 1 variable, we can solve. </span>

First, distribute the 2.
60=14W-4+2W

Next, combine like terms.

60=16W-4

Then, add four to both sides.

64=16W

Lastly, divide both sides by 16


W=4

To find the length, we plug in our width.

7W-2

7(4)-2

28-2

<span>L=26</span>

5) The school that Lexy goes to is selling tickets to the annual talent show. On the first day
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Adult ticket is $6

Student ticket is $4, as you said.

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll call adult tickets x and student tix y.

14x + 11y = 128

14x + y = 88

First, solve the second equation for y in terms of x:

y = 88- 14x

Then substitute that for y into the first equation:

14x + 11(88-14x) = 128

14x + 968 - 154x = 128

-140x = -840

x = 6  The adult ticket is $6, like you said.

Now take that and solve for y:

y = 88 - 14(6)

y = 88 - 84

y = 4 The student ticket is $4, as you said.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions so you can understand.
