It's a proportion.
2 is to x as 15 is to 9, or 2/x = 15/9.
Multiply the means and extremes
15x = 18
divide both sides by 15 to get x by itself.
x = 1.2
X = 10
to find x -
7x = 8x - 10
180 - 70 = 110
110 = 6y + 20
y = 15
Compare each place value. It's kind of hard to explain without examples...
Answer:
19 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
P = w
Where,
w = the number of weeks he has taken piano lessons
p = the total number of pieces he has learned
how many weeks of piano lessons will Lamar need before he will be able to play a total of 19 pieces?
Find w when p = 19
P = w
p = 19
Since P = w
19 = w
Therefore,
w = 19
Lamar need 19 weeks before he will be able to play a total of 19 pieces
