Answer:

m = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{15m+3}{2}$ = - 6

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

15m + 3 = - 12 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

15m = - 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )

m = - 1

$\text{Solve:}\\\\\frac{15m+3}{2}=-6\\\\\text{Multiply both sides by 2}\\\\15m+3=-12\\\\\text{Subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\15m=-15\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 15}\\\\\boxed{m=-1}$

2. 24-7p=10
-7p=-14
p=2

3. x+(x+1)+(x+2)=72
3x+3=72
3x=69
x=23

4. x+(x+2)+(x+4)=48
3x+6=48

Mrs Lim packs 35 big and small bags of candies for her pupils. Each big bag contains 12 candies and each small bag contains 7 ca

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

there are 11 big-bags and 24 small-bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

there are x big-bags and y small-bags.

so now we can know:

(1) x + y = 35

(2) 12x + 7y = 300

in (1),we can do like this:

both left and right x7

then (x + y)x7 = 35 x 7

then 7x + 7y = 35 x 7

then 7x + 7y = 245

now,

(1)7x + 7y =245

(2)12x + 7y = 300

we can both left and right do this: (2) - (1)

then

(12x + 7y) - (7x + 7y) = 300 -245

then

12x + 7y - 7x - 7y = 300 -245

then

12x - 7x +7y - 7y =300 -245

then

5x =55

then

5x ÷ 5 = 55 ÷ 5

then

x = 11

because

x + y =35;x=11

11 + y =35

11+ y -11 = 35 -11

then

y = 24

now we know:there are 11 big-bags and 24 small-bags.

Which solid figure has one polygon base?

maks197457 [2]

Q1: The answer is A. pyramid.
A pyramid has one polygon base. A prism has two polygon bases. A cone has one circular base. A cylinder has two circular bases.

Q6: The answer is false.
Surface area of a rectangular prism is:
A = 2(wl + hl + hw)
A1 = 2(4*5 + 6*5 + 6*4) = 2(20+30+24) = 2*74 = 148
A2 = 2(6*4 + 5*4 + 5*6) = 2(24+20+30) = 2*74 = 148

Q7. The answer is A. 6 feet
The volume of rectangular prism is:
V = w * l * h
w = ?
So, just replace the knowing facts:
288 = w * 8 * 6
288 = w * 48
w = 288/48 = 6

Q8: The answer is 216 ft³
The volume of the cube is:
V = a³
Since a = 6, then:
V = 6³ = 216

1377/8 in simplest form Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nlexa [21]

To convert a fraction to simplest form we need to find the greatest common factor.

The fraction can not be simplified because it is already in simplest form but we can change it to a mixed fraction.

Steps to solve

1) Set up the long division.

2) Calculate 13 ÷ 8, which is 1 with a remainder of 5.

3) Bring down 7, so that 57 is large enough to be divided by 8.

4) Calculate 57 ÷ 8, which is 7 with a remainder of 1.

5) Bring down 7, so that 17 is large enough to be divided by 8.

6) Calculate 17 ÷ 8, which is 2 with a remainder of 1.

7) Therefore, 1377 ÷ 8 = 172 with a remainder of 1.

Express as a mixed fraction = $172 \dfrac{1}{8}$
