Answer:

3/2 x +1 = 5/4x - 5

3/2 x+1 =5/4

x−5

Step 1: Subtract 5/4x from both sides.

3/2 x+1−5/4

x=5

4x−5−5/4x

1/4x+1=−5

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

1/4x+1−1=−5−1

1/4

x=−6

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 4.

4*(1/4x)=(4)*(−6)

x=−24 Mary has 24 shells

Answer:

-x=−24

x = 24 shells

Step-by-step explanation:

1.   2 3/4 x 16 = 44 + 6 = 50 shells   x= 16    

2 3/4 x 24 = 66 + 6 = 72 x = 24

We see the side workings in bold as if Mary has 24 and Nancy has 1x more

Then Nancy 24+24 = 48 where Gracie 5 x 24 = 120 and we have 72-48 = 24 and 120-72 = 48 being the same as Nancy. You can ignore or check the rest in explanation.

                           2 3/4 x 18 = 49 1/2 + 6 = 55 1/2  x= 18

2.  2 3/4 x 16 = 44 -4 = 40 shells  x = 16  2 3/4 x 24 = 66 - 4 = 62   x = 24

                            2 3/4 x 18 = 49 1/2 - 4 = 45 1/2   x = 18

3.   2  3/4 x 16 = 44 + 4 = 48 shells x = 16  2 3/4 x 24 = 66 + 4 = 70  x = 24                

2 3/4 x 18 = 49 1/2 + 4 =53 1/2  x = 18

During the school fundraiser, lsaac sold tubs of cookies dough for $15 each. He made $165. Write an equation that could be used
gregori [183]

165\15= number of tubs

165 divided by 15 equals the amount of the tubs that he sold.

(I assume the two different name things, isaac&dominic, is a mistake since there isnt any information for Dominic)

Put this into Slope Intercept Form<br> x + 6y = –6
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

y=-\frac{x}{6} -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following equation:
x+6y=-6

And we want to convert it into slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is known as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The equation is currently in standard form, which is ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are integer coefficients

Notice how in standard form, both the terms that contain x and y are on one side, but in slope-intercept form, y is by itself on one side

So essentially, in order to convert from standard form to slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y

Here is our equation again:

x+6y=-6

Start by subtracting x from both sides

x+6y=-6

-x       -x

_______________

6y=-x-6

Now divide both sides by 6

y=-\frac{x}{6} -\frac{6}{6}
We can simplify the fractions to become:

y=-\frac{x}{6} -1
Hope this helps!

an art teacher has 1 1/2 pounds of red clay and 3/4 pound of yellow clay.The teacher mixes the red clay and yellow clay together
Nataly [62]
Well, seeing as how she mixed the clay, she has a total of 2 2/8 pounds clay (unsimplified). Although we don't know how many students she has in one class, with simple division of this number we can figure out how many student can finish the project. Removing the 2/8, we can already tell 2 students can do it, so that's a start. Now to divide the 2 pounds into 8ths. Each pound is enough for 8 students, so the 2 pounds totals to 16. Now add the extra 2 students, it's 18 total students. Hope I explained it well enough!
