Hi! So if we lay out 16 popcorn balls, and each time we take away four, this is what would happen gradually,

16 bottom + 12 1st layer + 8 2nd layer + 4 3rd layer

16+12+8+4 = 40 popcorn balls!

I don’t understand how to do this? please help
xenn [34]

Answer:

K = -72

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Get K/9 by itself to do so add 3 to both sides eliminating it on the left by turning the -11 into -8

2. Multiply by 9 on both sides eliminating the division of 9 on the left and turning -8 into -72 leaving the equation as K = -72

To eliminate a number you must do its opposite so the opposite of -3 is +3 so you +3 to both sides. And always start the equation by eliminating what is not connected to the variable in this case the 9 was connected to the variable as K/9.

plzzz help A model train is on a track 100 cm from its starting point. Turning a switch displaces the train either forward or ba
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: B.  |x-100| = 25

Explanation:

Draw out a number line. Mark 75, 100 and 125 on the number line as points A, B, and C in that order. Don't worry about the spacing.

The value of x represents where the train is. So if we had say x = 85, then it would be at location 85 on the number line. Writing |x-100| is the distance from x to 100. The absolute value ensures the distance is never negative. We want this distance to be 25 because after traveling 25 cm, the switch is turned, and the train goes the other way.

Mrs Adams baked some muffins. Carl eat 2/5 of the muffins and John eat 25. How many muffins were baked?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:


Well, how many were left over? Mrs. Adams has a muffin factory and made 1 million muffins. Carl ate 2/5 or 40% or 400,000 muffins, and John ate 25. 599,975 muffins were shipped for sale. That meets the stated requirements.


Hence, we have to guess there were supposed to be no muffins left over.


In that case, Mrs. Adams baked 125/3 muffins, Carl ate 2/5 of them = 50/3, leaving 75/3 = 25 for John.



Step-by-step explanation:

x muffins baked, 2/5 eaten by Carl, 3/5 left to be eaten by John, who ate 25 before running out.


3/5 x = 25

x = 25 × 5/3 = 125/3 = 41 + 2/3


Or, Start with x muffins. Carl ate 2/5 x, leaving 3/5 x. John ate 25 with zero left over. So 3/5 x = 25.


(x - 2/5 x) - 25 = 0

3/5 x = 25

x = (5/3) × 25 = 125/3.
