How do you work out -4(-5-b)=1/3(b+16)

Mathematics

First multiply the parenthesis:

20 - b = 1/3b + 16/3

Then combine like terms:

20 -b + b = 1/3b + b + 16/3

20 - 16/3 = 1/3b + b + 16/3 -16/3

20 - 16/3 = 1/3b + b

 44/3  =  4/3b

and if your looking for b;

44/3 (divided by) 4/3 = b

11 = b...is your final answer!

hope it helped :)

Nancy has a 3.5-pound bag of birdseed. She uses 3/4 of the bag to fill a bird feeder in her garden. Then, she puts 0.25 pounds i
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

0.625lb bag of bird seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

She starts with a 3.5 lb bag,

Then she uses 3/4 of the bag, so find the remaining amount in the bag, which would be 1/4 of the original weight;

1/4 * 3.5

= 1/4 * 7/2

= 7/8

Then she removes 0.25 lbs of weight, hence take away 0.25 (the amount removed) from 7/8 (the current weight of the bag).

7/8 - 0.25

= 7/8 - 1/4

= 7/8 - 2/8

= 5/8

So she has a 5/8lb bag of bird seeds or a 0.625lb bag.

A quantity with an initial value of 7600 decays exponentially at a rate of 55% every 7 days. What is the value of the quantity a
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

1539

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using the Exponential decay formula

= A(t) = Ao(1 - r) ^t

Ao = Initial Amount invested = 7600

r = Decay rate = 55% = 0.54

t = time in weeks = 2

Hence:

A(t) = 7600(1 - 0.55)²

A(t) = 7600 × (0.45)²

A(t) = 1539

Therefore, the value of the quantity after 2 weeks is 1539
