x = -1/3
Explanation:
-3x-2=-1
collect like terms by adding +2 to both sides:
-3x -2 + 2 = -1 + 2
-3x = 1
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x:
coefficient of x = -3
-3x/-3 = 1/-3
x = -1/3
Answer:
The answer to your question is
Part A. Archimedes grades 6 1/4 tests per day
Part B. 8 19/32 days
Part C. 6 26/29 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
Total time = 6 2/5 days
Number of tests = 40 tests
Process
1.- Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction
6 2/5 = (30 + 2) / 5 = 32/5
2.- Divide 40 by 32/5
40/1 / 32/5 = (40 x 5) / (32 x 1)
= 200 / 32
Simplify
100 / 16 = 50/8 = 25/4
3.- Convert 25/4 to mixed fractions
6
4 25
1
25/4 = 6 1/4
Archimedes grade 6 1/4 tests per day
Part B
15 more tests
Total time = 32/5
Total tests = 40 + 15 = 55
Process
1.- Divide 55 by 32/5
55 / 1 / 32 /5 = (55 x 5) / (32 x 1)
= 275 / 32
2.- Convert 275/32 to a mixed fraction
8
32 275
256
19
Result 8 19/32 days
Part C
1.- Divide 55 by 7.25
50 / 7.25 = 5000 / 725
6
725 5000
- 4350
650
Result 6 650/750 = 6 26/29
The answer is 48. I'm sorry I can't explain cuz it's a long process
Full price of popcorn: $3.50
Price of popcorn after half the movie: $1.75
price of drinks: $1.35
The question is....."Determine the cost for purchasing 3 orders of popcorn and 3 drinks when the movie is half over."
$1.75*3=$5.25
$1.35*3=$4.05
the price of the 3 orders of popcorn would be $5.25
The price of the 3 orders of drink would be $4.05
5.25 + 4.05 = $9.30
In total the 3 orders of popcorn and 3 orders of drink would cost $9.30
Hope this helps! :)
