Answer:
Each will receive 
of the cake.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of cake = c
Lisa, Juan and Isaac are the persons who are sharing half of a cake equally.
Number of persons = 3
Part of the cake shared = 
Fraction of the cake shared by each = 
= 
= 
Therefore, fraction of total cake shared by each member will be 
of the total amount of cake.
Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
5 = 1/2(x) - 3
Add 3 to both sides.
8 = 1/2(x)
Rewrite for clarity.
1/2(x) = 8
x/2 = 8
Multiply both sides by 2.
x = 16.
Proof:
5 = 1/2(x) - 3
Substitute variable.
5 = 1/2(16) - 3
Multiply 1/2 and 16.
5 = 8 - 3
Subtract 3 from 8.
5 = 5
Answer:
you divide -8y by both sides and you would so that means that y=-2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Anita can clean 1/8 portion of the pool in 1 hour
Chao can clean 1/6 portion of the pool in 1 hour
Both of them working together can clean 1/8 + 1/6 = 7/24 portion of the pool in 1 hour
Therefore, it will take both of the working together 1/(7/24) = 24/7 or 3 3/7 hours to clean a typical pool.
Answer:
Part A
it supposed to be x⩾-1/3 since you divided by negative
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
4-6x⩾-15x+1
step 1: add -6x to both sides
4-6x+6x⩾-15x+6x+1
=4⩾-9x+1
step 2: subtract 1 from both sides
4-1⩾-9x+1-1
3⩾-9x
step 3: do reflexive property and divide
3⩾-9x
= <u>-9x⩽3</u>
-9
x⩽-1/3
and since you divided by negative, the sign must change. so it'll be x⩾-1/3
