Answer:
c. 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate parentheses using the distributive property.
3(b+4) -2(2b+3) = -4 . . . . given
3b +12 -4b -6 = -4 . . . . . parentheses eliminated
-b +6 = -4 . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
-b = -10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6
b = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1
_____
The rules of equality require that any operation you perform on one side of the equal sign must also be done on the other side. So when we say "subtract 6", we assume you know that means "subtract 6 from both sides of the equation", for example.
#1 30
#2 150
#3 110
#4 60
#5 2x+50+3x=180
combine like terms
5x+50=180
subtract 50 from both sides
5x=130
divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable
x=26
#5 3x=3(26)=78
#6 2x+50=2(26)+50=102

Answer: 750 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The gas mileage is 75 miles per 1/2 gallon of gasoline.
First find how many miles it can go on 1 gallon of gasoline:
= 75 ÷ 1/2
= 150 miles
If the scooter can go 150 miles on 1 gallon, the number of miles it will go on 5 gallons is:
= 5 * 150
= 750 miles
Answer:
3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the ratio of a to b, or a/b
9/17 = 3a/ (a+b)
Multiply each side by 17
17*9/17 =17* 3a/ (a+b)
9 = 51 a/ (a+b)
Multiply each side by (a+b)
9 (a+b) = 51a
Distribute the 9
9a +9b = 51a
Subtract 9a from each side
9a-9a +9b =51a-9a
9b = 42a
Divide each side by b
9b/b = 42a/b
9 = 42a/b
Divide each side by 42
9/42 = a/b
But we can simplify 9/42 because each is divisible by 3, so divide 9 and 42 by 3
3/14 = a/b
Answer:
A consumer organization estimates that over a 1-year period 16% of cars will need to be repaired once, 9% will need repairs twice, and 3% will require three or more repairs..
We have the cars that do not need repair =
%
(16+9+3=28% cars need repair of some sort)
What is the probability that :
a) neither will need repair?
=> 
b) both will need repair?
=> 
c) at least one car will need repair?
=> 
=>
