There are 20 people in the class room.

One way I set this word problem up is by using the equation 88-4x=8. X would stand for the amount of classmates in the class, 88 would stand for your total pieces of gum and 8 would stand for the remaining pieces left.

With the equation 88-4x=8 you want to subtract 88 from both sides to get the equation -4x=-80. Last you want to isolate x by dividing -4 on both sides to finally get x=20. 20 people in the class room.

Help me please :) have a good day.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

problem 1: h=a/b problem 2: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First problem: a=bh

First you have to flip the equation so bh=a

Next you have to divide both sides by b.

bh/b=a/b

so h=a/b

Second problem: 45ft is the area and 9ft is the base so to find the height you have to divide the area by the base

If you only have the base and height you would multiply them to find the area. If you only have area and height you divide area by height to get base.

You have to divide 45 by 9, the answer would be 5.

Hope this helped!

A distrubutor wants to make 1,000 pounds of trail mix that is 8% raisins. He will use a mix that is 5% raisins and a mix that is
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

<em>He should use 800 pounds of trail mix 5% raisins and 200 pounds of trail mix 20% raisins</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Let's call

x = pounds of trail mix 5% raisins

y = pounds of trail mix 20% raisins

The distributor wants to make 1,000 pounds of trail mix, thus:

x + y = 1,000     [1]

The mix must be 8% raisings as a combination of x and y, thus:

5x + 20y = 8*1,000 = 8,000

Dividing by 5:

x + 4y = 1,600     [2]

Subtracting [2] and [1]:

4y - y = 1,600 - 1,000

Operating:

3y = 600

y = 200

From [1]

x = 1,000 - y = 1,000 - 200

x = 800

He should use 800 pounds of trail mix 5% raisins and 200 pounds of trail mix 20% raisins
