Solve 5b +12c =9 for b

- 7 ( x - 2 ) + 1 = 15 - 7x

Savatey [412]

Answer: x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to open up the parenthesis so you multiply every term inside the parenthesis by -7.

1. -7x + 14 + 1 = 15 -7x

2. Combine like terms -7x + 15 = 15-7x

The two sides of the equation are the same so that means that x=1

Which expression is the correct translation of the following word phrase?

Llana [10]

Hey, there!

The parentheses would make it multiplication
The word sum means add
A number was unknown, so we will label it as "x"

So, let's see what we're working with here!

If you chose "Option A" the question would be "five multiplied by a number and the sum of 3" (that doesn't give you the right answer"
For B. same thing with option A
For "Option C" its not asking you "a number with sum of three times five"

So, this leaves "Option D." as your answer because 3 is getting multiplied by the sum of some number and five

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Mrs. Cleaver mixes 1.24 liters of red paint with 3 times as much blue paint to make purple paint. She pours the paint equally in

otez555 [7]

The amount of blue paint in each container is $\fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}$ .

Further explanation:

The mixture mixed by Mrs. Cleaver contains 1.24 litres of red paint with 3 times blue paint to obtain purple paint.

So, the amount of blue paint is calculated as,

${3} \times {1.24}=3.72 \text { liters}$

Therefore, the total amount of paint mixture is the sum of blue paint and red paint.

$\fbox{\begin \\\begin{aligned} \text{Total paint}= 1.24+3.72\\=4.96 \text{ liters}\\\end{aligned}\\\end{minispace}}$

Now, as Mrs. Cleaver divides the paint mixture equally in 5 containers so the amount of paint in one container is calculated as,

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Amount of paint in one container}&= \dfrac{4.96}{5}\\ &=0.992 \text{ liters} \end {aligned}}$

Since amount of blue paint mixed is three times the red paint so the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is $\dfrac{3}{4}$ .

Now, as it is known that the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is $\dfrac{3}{4}$ and the amount of paint in a container is $0.992 \text{ liters}$ then the blue paint in one container is calculated as,

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Blue paint in one container} =\dfrac{3}{4} \times 0.992\\=0.248 \text{ liters}\end{aligned}}$

Thus, the amount of blue paint in each of the five containers is $\fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}$ .
