This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
Answer:
Angelina should buy 9 packs of pens and 8 packs of pencils.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each pack of pens = 8 pens
Each pack of pencils = 9 pencils.
Also we know that, Commutative Property of Multiplication states that
a x b = b x a for any two numbers a and b.
So, 8 x 9 = 72 = 9 x 8
Hence, she should buy 9 packs of pens, so she will have 9 x 8 = 72 pens.
And she should buy 8 packs of pencils, she will have 8 x 9 = 72 pencils.
6 because 5-2=3 and 3+3 is 6

Answer:
g = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 + 5 + 6g = 11 - 3g
Move the variables to one side and the numbers to the other:
9g = 9
Simplify:
g = 1
