Answer:
a = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3(1 - 2a) = -3a - 18
3 - 6a = - 3a - 18
Add 18 to each side:
3 + 18 - 6a = - 3a - 18 + 18
21 - 6a = - 3a
Add 6a to each side:
21 - 6a + 6a = - 3a + 6a
21 = 3a
3a = 21
Divide each side by 3:
3a ÷ 3 = 21 ÷ 3
a = 7
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see from the table that 2 bracelets are made every 30 minutes.
There are 9 intervals of 30 minutes each in 4.5 hours.
So, the number of bracelets that are made in 4.5 hours is
9x2=18
Another way to see this is to note from the table that 4 bracelets are made in 60 minute, which is 1 hour. So, in 4 hours, 16 bracelets will be made. Also, from the table, 2 bracelets are made in 30 minutes, which is 1/2 hour. So, adding up, 18 bracelets are made in 4.5 hours.
Answer:
5x + 32 < 50
Step-by-step explanation:
On a particular airline, bags checked in must weigh less than 50 pounds. Betty packed 32 pounds of clothes and five gifts that weigh the same amount.
If each gift weighs w pounds, then the weight of five gifts will be 5w pounds and an additional 32 pounds of clothes will make it total (32 + 5w) pounds.
Now, this total weight has to be less than 50 pounds.
Therefore, the inequality equation that can be used to find the possible weight of each gift, w is
5x + 32 < 50 (Answer)
Julie cannot be right. That's because if you add three odd numbers together, <em>you always get an odd number. </em>The number 50 is an Even number.
Let's try adding 3 odd numbers together a couple of times...3 + 3 + 3 = 9 5 + 1 + 5 = 11 7 + 3 + 5 = 15
We tried 3 examples, we could not get any even number. So,
Julie's claim is wrong.
