Let's deconstruct the equation.
K x (1/8) = 7
You want to isolate K, so you multiply by 8 for both sides (since 8 x 1/8 = 1)
So, K = 7 x 8
K=56
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+3)/2=6
Multiply each side by 2
2*(x+3)/2=6*2
x+3 = 12
Subtract 3 from each side
x+3-3 = 12-3
x = 9
Answer:
Absolute value means the distance between a number and 0.
Examples:
The absolute value of -7 is 7.
The absolute value of 5 is 5.
Key Concepts:
The absolute value sign is |x|, where x is any real number.
The absolute value removes any negative sign in front of a number.
Let x represent the number of students in Janelle’s group.
If Janelle brings 3 markers for each person in her group, then she brings 3x markers for x students. You also know that she brings <span>5 extra markers for everyone to share. Thus, the total amount of markers she brings is 3x+5.
</span>
If Janelle brings in 23 markers in all, then the equation <span><span>3x+5=23 </span> represaents the mathematical model. </span>
3x=23-5,3x=18,x=6
Answer: there are 6 students in Janelle's group.
