Well, BEDMAS contains the answer

Brackets first
We have a variable here so we won’t touch it for now

Multiplication
Cancel the fraction by multiplying by the denominator
-1(n+15) = -6

Divide by -1 to isolate the brackets
N+15 = 6

Add 15 to both sides
N = 21

Double check by putting 21 instead of n into the equation

So for this one you need to distribute -1/3 to n and 15........

-1/3n-5= -2

then to get "n" by itself you need to then add 15 on both sides. 15 will cancel out with -15 (because it becomes 0)...... -1/3n= 3

Then you multiply -3/1 on both sides (you do that to get n by itself (cancellation)), and multiply -3/1 with 3......... n= -9 (ANSWER)

The Coffee Counter charges ​$8.00 per pound for Kenyan French Roast coffee and ​$10.00 per pound for Sumatran coffee. How much o
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

x = 9

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Let :

Kenyan French roast coffee = x

Cost per x = $8

Sumatran Coffee = y

Cost per y = $10

x + y = 18 - - - - (1)

8x + 10y = 9 * 18 ;

8x + 10y = 162 - - - - (2)

From (1):

x = 18 - y

Put x = 18 - y in (2)

8(18 - y) + 10y = 162

144 - 8y + 10y = 162

2y = 162 - 144

2y = 18

y = 9

x = 18 - y

x = 18 - 9

x = 9

The ratio of boys to girls in Ms. smith’s class is 3 to 4. If there are 12 boys, how many girls are there?
Lorico [155]

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

                  Hello!

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

❖ There will be 16 girls.

The relationship is x4. If we multiply 3 x 4, we get 12. What we do to one number we do to the other so 4 x 4 = 16.
