$38=11+3x$ collect like-terms

$38-11=3x$ subtract

$27=3x$ divide

$x=\frac{27}{9}$

$x=9$

plug $x$ in the equation to make sure of the answer

$38=11+3x\\38=11+3(9)\\38=11+27\\38=38$

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{3}$ cups of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$w$ is the number of cups of water to be mixed with flour for making tortillas.

$f$ is the number of cups of flour to be mixed with water for making tortillas.

Relation between $w$ and $f$ is given by the equation:

$w=0.75f$

To find:

Number of cups of flour to be added if number of cups of water to be used is 1.

Solution:

We are given an equation with two variables.

Value of one variable is given and we have to find the value of other variable.

$1=0.75f\\\Rightarrow f = \dfrac{1}{0.75}\\\Rightarrow f = 1.33$

Number of cups of flour to be added = $1\frac{1}{3}$
