The number is 10.
x/5 = x-8
You multiply both sides by 5.
x = 5(x-8)
x = 5x-40
Subtract 5x from both sides
-4x = -40
x= -40 / -4
x=10
Answer:
a) Weight of 1/3 pack of peanuts = pounds.
b) Weight of bag of peanuts is pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight of 1 bag of peanuts = pounds
Solving the mixed fraction, we get the weight of 1 bag = pounds
Now, weight of 1/3 bag =
or, the weight of 1/3 pack of peanuts = pounds.
Now, the weight of bag of peanuts is
⇒
Hence, the weight of bag of peanuts is pounds.
Answer:
15 crickets; 20 ladybugs
C = G + 10
L= C+5
Step-by-step explanation:
Crickets = C
Ladybugs = L
Grasshoppers = G
We know he found 5 grasshoppers, so:
C = G + 10 --> because he found 10 more crickets than grasshoppers
if we plug in 5 for G (grasshoppers), we can solve for C (crickets):
C= 5+10
<u>15 Crickets</u>
<u />
Now that we know he found 15 crickets we can make our second equation:
L= C+5 --> because he found 5 more ladybugs than crickets
if we plug in 15 C (crickets), we can solve for L (ladybugs):
L= 15+5
<u>20 Ladybugs</u>
