-3(y-5)=24
First follow the distributive property and do the parentheses. 
-3 times y gives you:-3y 
-3 times -5 gives you 15 since a negative times a negative is a positve. 
So now you have -3y +15 = 24
subtract 15 from both sides and you will get: -3y+15-15=24-15
which then gives you: -3y= 9
to get y by itself divide both sides by -3. 
this gives you: y= -3

A gardener uses 1/3 of a liter of water to water 2/7 of a garden.
Serjik [45]

the gardener would need (1 + 1/6) liters of water to water the whole garden.

<h3>How much water would the gardener need to water the whole garden?</h3>

Here we know that the gardener needs 1/3 of a liter of water to water 2/7 of a garden.

Then we have the relation:

1/3 L = 2/7 of a garden.

Now, we want to get a "1 garden" in the right side of the equation, then we can multiply both sides by (7/2), so we get:

(7/2)*(1/3) L = (7/2)*(2/7) of a garden

(7/6)L = 1 garden.

(1 + 1/6) L = 1 garden

This means that the gardener would need (1 + 1/6) liters of water to water the whole garden.

A-plus Auto Body is painting designs on a customers car. They had 18pints of blue paint on hand. They used 1/2 of it for the fla
Mashutka [201]
1/2 of 18 pints is 9 because 18/2=9

They have 9 pints left.

1/3 of 18 pints is 6 because 1/3*18=6

9-6=3

There are 3 pints left.

They need 7.75 pints and they only have 3 so 7.75-3=4.75 (or 4 3/4)

They need 4 3/4 more pints of blue paint
