Equation:

(28     -     4) / 2    =     p

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

28     -   4/2     =    p

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

12         =       p

Step 2: Flip the equation.

p          =      12

Answer:       =======>    p       =       12 Pounds of potting soil Emmanuel would have gotten last week



When Graph:

28   -   4/2    =    p

Intersection Points ======>     (12,     12 )






Hope that helps!!!!                                     : )

Using appropriate properties , find 7/5 × 5/12 − 3/12 × 7/5 − 1/15
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{7}{5}  \times  \frac{5}{12}  -  \frac{3}{12}  \times  \frac{7}{5}  -  \frac{1}{15}  =  \frac{7}{5} ( \frac{5}{12}   -  \frac{3}{12} ) -  \frac{1}{15}  =  \frac{7}{5}  \times  \frac{1}{6}  -  \frac{1}{15}  =  \frac{7}{30}  -  \frac{2}{30}  =  \frac{5}{30}  =  \frac{1}{6}

Solve for q. √3q + 2 = √5
34kurt

Answer:

q = 0.0186

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for q, we initially place everything with the term q to one side of the equality, and everything without the term q to the other side of the equality.

So

\sqrt{3q} + 2 = \sqrt{5}

\sqrt{3q} = \sqrt{5} - 2

We find the square of both sides of the equation. So

(\sqrt{3q})^{2} = (\sqrt{5} - 2)^{2}

3q = 0.0557

q = \frac{0.0557}{3}

q = 0.0186

An airplane takes 3 hours to travel a distance of 1680 miles with the wind. The return trip was 4 hours against wind. Find the s
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Speed of plane in still air: 490  mile/hour

speed of wind: 70  mile/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

still speed = x        wind speed = w

with wind: speed = still + wind

(x+w) * 3 = 1680     ...a

against wind: speed = still - wind

(x-w) * 4 = 1680    ...b

b-a ... 4x-4w-3x-3w = 0

x-7w = 0

x = 7w

substitution: (7w+w)*3 = 1680      8w = 560       wind speed (w) = 70

still speed (x) = 7w = 490 mile/hour
