Answer:

s = -6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

- 16.68 + 1.8s + 2.2 = 3s - 6.4

- 16.68 + 2.2 + 1.8s = 3s - 6.4

- 14.48 + 1.8s = 3s - 6.4

Collect like terms

Note: crossing over equals to, the sign will change

Hint: either from

- to +

+ to -

-14.48 + 6.4 = 3s - 1.8s

-8.08 = 3s - 1.8s

-8.08 = 1.2s

Divide both sides by 1.2, to get the value of s

-8.08/1.2 = 1.2s/1.2

-6.7 = s

s = -6.7

two groups of friends are sharing apples of the same size. The first group of 3 friends share 4 apples. The second group of 4 fr

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The second group

Step-by-step explanation:

The first group is 4 apples for 3 friends.

= 4/3. They each got 1 & 1/3 of an apple.

The second group is 6 apples for 4 friends.

= 6/4. They each got 1 & 1/2 of an apple.

1 1/3 < 1 1/2, so friends in the second group get a larger portion of apples

THERE ARE 3 BAGS OF APPLES WEIGHING A TOTAL OF 22 1/2 POUNDS. TWO OF THE BAGS WEIGH 6 3/8 POUNDS AND 3 1/4 POUNDS. HOW MUCH DOES

Mkey [24]

I wasn't going to click on this one, but the all-caps enthralled me and hypnotized me.

first off, let's change all the mixed fractions to "improper" and proceed from there, keep in mind that if we subtract the two bags' weight from the total, what's leftover is the 3rd bag's weight.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{22\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{22\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{45}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{51}{8}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{sum of the two bags}}{\cfrac{51}{8}+\cfrac{13}{4}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is 8}\implies \cfrac{(1)51+(2)13}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{51+26}{8}\implies \cfrac{77}{8}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{total}{\cfrac{45}{2}}~-~\stackrel{two~bags}{\cfrac{77}{8}}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is again 8}\implies \cfrac{(4)45-(1)77}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{180~~-~~77}{8}\implies \cfrac{103}{8}\implies \stackrel{third~bag}{12\frac{7}{8}}$
