You can subtract 78.2 from 287 to get the x value alone. Your new expression will look like this:
.5x=208.8
Next you divide by .5 (or multiply the reciprocal 1/.5 depending on how you were taught)
x=417.6

Hope that helps!!

Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work. After the 12 men have worked for 1 hour, the contractor decides to call in 8
Anna71 [15]
Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work.
In 1 hour, the 12 men will finish 1/6 of the work
( 1 job ) / ( 6 hrs ) = ( 1/6 of a job ) / ( 1 hr )
-----------------------------------------
That means there is of the job
left to do.
-------------------
If 12 men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work,
1 man will take 12 times as long, to finish the work, so
( 1 job ) / ( 6*12 = 72 hrs ) = rate of working for 1 man, or

-------------------
After 1 hour, there are a total of men working
20 men will work 20 times as fast as 1 man on the
of a job that remains, so
Let = hours for the 20 men to finish the job

morpeh [17]

Answer: they have 68 servings of ice cream left for the party

Step-by-step explanation:

The Smiths purchased 6 containers of ice cream for a party. Each container holds 9 cups of ice cream. This means that the total number of cups of ice cream that they have is

6 × 9 = 54 cups

Before the party, their sons ate 3 cups of ice cream altogether. This means that the number of cups of ice cream that they have left is

54 - 3 = 51 cups

One serving is 3/4 cup of ice cream. This means that the number of serving that they have left is

51/0.75 = 68

Bianca took a job that paid $150 the first week. She was guaranteed a raise of 6% each week. How much money will she make in all
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

$225.54 (hope it help)

Step-by-step explanation:

for 2nd week

$150 for the first week and a raise of 6% each week

which means 150+6%

6% of 150 is 9 (150x0.06)

150+9=159

and it repeats

for 3rd week

6% of 159 is 9.54 (159x0.06)

159+9.54=168.54

for 4th week

6% of 168.54 is 10.1124 (168.54x0.06)

168.54+10.1124=178.652

for 5th week

6% of 178.652 is 10.71912 (178.652x0.06)

178.652+10.71912=189.37112

an easier to do it is to just do 178.652 + 6% on your calculater

and I'll skip all the way to the 8th since you know the formula

212.777390432+6%=225.544033858

225.544033858≈225.54
