so for this equation, I would do 7/8 = 72/x
1 72
- = -
8 x
Cross multiply to get 72 * 8 = 1x
solve for X 576 = x
Answer:

There are 16 friends at Jack's party.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please consider the complete question.
Jack's mother gave him 50 chocolates to give to his friends at his birthday party. He gave 3 chocolates to each of his friends and still had 2 chocolates left. Write an equation to determine the number of friends (x) at Jack's party. Find the number of friends at Jack's party.
Since there are x friends at party, so chocolate given to x friends would be 3 times x
because Jack gave 3 chocolates to each friend.
As Jack has 2 chocolates left after giving to his friends, so total numbers of chocolates would be
.
Now we will equate total number of chocolates by 50 as:

Therefore, the equation
can be used to find number of Jack's friends.
Let us solve for x.




Therefore, there are 16 friends at Jack's party.
Answer:
-3,1
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 45 mins
each big square represents 15 mins
b) 100km/h
speed= distance/time so it would be 50km/0.5h= 100km/h
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
hole at x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The hole is the discontinuity that exists after the fraction reduces. (Still doesn't exist for original of course)
The discontinuities for this expression is when the bottom is 0. x^2-9=0 when x=3 or x=-3 since squaring either and then subtracting 9 would lead to 0.
So anyways we have (x+3)/(x^2-9)
= (x+3)/((x-3)(x+3))
Now this equals 1/(x-3) with a hole at x=-3 since the x+3 factor was "cancelled" from the denominator.
