Sounds like rearranging to me:

P=2(a+b) -- expand brackets
P=2a+2b -- subtract 2a
P-2a=2b -- divide by 2

b=(P-2a)/2

P=2(a+b)\\
P=2a+2b\\
2b=P-2a\\
b=\frac{P-2a}{2}

Hoy uploaded 56 photos to his computer. He put an equal number of photos in each of 8 folders. Which multiplication sentence cou
Dafna1 [17]
I would actually use division. So divide 56 by 8, and you'll get 7.

Or you can multiply 7 times 8 and get 56.

Hope this helps!

Find the value of the variable plz help
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

8y + 36 = 14y -24                Subtract 36 to both sides

8y = 14y - 24 - 36               Combine

8y = 14y - 60                       Subtract 14y from both sides

8y - 14y = - 60

-6y = -60                             Divide by - 6

-6y/-6 = -60/-6

y = 10

===========================

x +48 = 64                        Subtract 48 from both sides

x +48 - 48 = 64-16

x = 16
