Answer:
A) 29/8
Step-by-step explanation:
On the left side of the equals sign, we have five x's and nine -1's.
On the right side of the equals sign, we have three -x's and twenty 1's.
Both sides are equal, so:
5(x) + 9(-1) = 3(-x) + 20(1)
5x − 9 = -3x + 20
Add 3x to both sides.
8x − 9 = 20
Add 9 to both sides.
8x = 29
Divide both sides by 8.
x = 29/8
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+1=8x-24
25=5x
x=5
3 times 5 plus 1 is 16 and so the length is 32
comment section:
XM=MY because MN is segment bisector
XM=3x+1=3*5+1=16=MY and since XM+MY=XY 16+16=32
White flour makes up 2 / (2+3) of the total 10 cups: 2/5 of the total 10 cups.
2/5 times 10 is 4 cups.
You'll need 4 cups white flour and 6 cups whole wheat flour, making a total of 10 cups of flour.
