Answer:
5x + 16
Step-by-step explanation:
the first thing you do in this equation is to distribute the 2 into x + 6
you get
2x + 12 + 3x + 4 = ?
then you must put the 2x and the 3x together
5x + 12 + 4
and you can then add the 12 and 4
5x + 16
8 / 2 = 45 / x....8 servings to 2 cups = 45 servings to x cups
cross multiply
(8)(x) = (2)(45)
8x = 90
x = 90/8
x = 11 1/4 (or 11.25) cups of flour are needed <==
Answer:
There are 200 students in the seventh grade.
Step-by-step explanation:
For equations like these, you have to use the is/of formula, which is:
Percent/100 = is/of.
Since you are trying to find how many students are in the seventh grade, this means that 52 <u><em>is</em></u> 26% of the total amount of students in the seventh grade. So, the formula would look like so:
26/100 = 52/n.
Next, you have to cross multiply, which means you would multiply 26 by n, and 52 by 100.
Then, you are going to have this left over from the cross multiplying:
5200 = 26n.
Divide 26 on both sides, leaving you with:
1n = 200, or n = 200.
