Remember you can do anything to an equaiton as long as you do it to both sides
-x=4-3x
add 3x both sides
3x-x=4+3x-3x
2x=4+0
2x=4
divide 2
2x/2=4/2
2/2x=2
1x=2
x=2
Answer:
m/(1 - .8)
Step-by-step explanation:
She read 80% of her emails, which is .8 of the total. So her unread emails would be 100% - 80% = 1 - .8
that means me can be written as:
m = (1 - .8)t
where t is the total
If we solve for t, we get:
t = m/(1 - .8)
Answer:
16 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
For the first tree
let the expression for the height be
y=4+x--------------1
where y= the total height
4= the initial height
x= the number of years
For the second tree, the expression is
y=12+0.5x-------------2
Equate 1 and 2
4+x=12+0.5x
x-0.5x=12-4
0.5x= 8
x= 8/0.5
x=16
Hence it will take 16 years for both trees to have the same height
Answer:
4 cups of flour
