3w + 8 - w = 4w - 2(w - 4)
is an identity
3w-w + 8 = 4w - 2w + 8
2w + 8 = 2w + 8
2w - 2w = 8 - 8
0 = 0
zero equal to zero implies that any value of w satisfies the statement 3w + 8 - w = 4w - 2(w - 4) hence it is an identity.
14/21 is 2/3 simplified.
9/15 is 3/5 simplified.
and 3/8 can not be simplified, so it's 3/8
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets assume the number Peggy is thinking of be "x".
Now as given, when twice the number is added to three times one more than the number. We can write it as
∴
--- Equation 1
Again, it is given that Peggy gets the same result as when she multiplies four times one less than the number.
∴
-- equation 2
Next, we can equate both the equation 1 and 2 as it is given that result is same.

Let´s distribute 3 into
and 4 into 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Subtract both side by 4x and 3
∴ 
∴ Peggy was thinking of -7
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3
When the culture was created t = 0, thus
3
= 3 × 1 = 3
That is there were initially 3 bacteria in the culture → A
