Answer:
x = -2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
27x = 9x − 4
Subtract 9x from each side
27x-9x = 9x-9x − 4
18x = -4
Divide each side by 18
18x/18 = -4/18
x = -4/18
Divide the top and bottom by 2
x = -2/9
3x - 10x = 14
-7x = 14
x = -2
Answer:
Brandon is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Brandon is running errands for his mother.
It is 1/4 mile from his house to the library and 2/3 mile from the library to the grocery store .
Brandon claims that he walked a total of 11/12 mile if he goes from his house to the library to the grocery store.
Distance from his house to the library = 1/4 mile
Distance from the library to the grocery store = 2/3 mile
Total distance Brandon walks from his house to the library to the grocery store = Distance from his house to the library + Distance from the library to the grocery store
= 1/4 + 2/3
Make both 1/4 and 2/3 have the same denominator to be able to add
The lowest common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 3 is 12
Therefore,
1/4 + 2/3
= (3+8)/12
= 11/12
Total distance Brandon walks from his house to the library to the grocery store = 11/12 mile
ok
Probability to be yellow = 1/6
Probability to be orange = 1/6
Total probability = 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36
Result = 1/36
