Answer:
y = 2(x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because Gavin representing "x" loses 3 marbles, which is shown by the -3 in the parenthesis, is half of what Cindy has, or as the problem says "Cindy has double the marbles that Gavin has." These two together result in y=2(x-3)
Answer:
1,500,000,000
Step-by-step explanation:
I converted everything into decimals and went from there.
There is 34 feet. One Yard has 3 feet so 34/3 should be your answer to yards. (The answer is 11.33333333 yards).
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 8(x + 5) = 6 - 3x
Remember to follow PEMDAS. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
First, distribute -8 to all terms within the parenthesis
-8(x + 5) = (-8)(x) + (-8)(5) = -8x - 40
5x - 8x - 40 = 6 - 3x
Isolate the variable (x). Add 3x & 40 to both sides
5x - 8x (+3x) - 40 (+40) = 6 (+40) - 3x (+3x)
5x - 8x + 3x = 6 + 40
Simplify. Combine like terms
(5x - 8x + 3x) = (6 + 40)
0 = 46 ; False 0 ≠ 46 ∴ no solution is your answer
