Add 6x to both sides of the equation...

7x-9=5 add 9 to both sides

7x=14 divide both sides by 7

x=2

A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of butter. Angie wants to triple the recipe, but she has only 1 5/8.

Lyrx [107]

Let's start out by tripling the original recipe to see how much butter Angie needs.

$\frac{3}{4} * 3 = total$
$\frac{3* 3}{4} = total$
$\frac{9}{4} = total$
$2 \frac{1}{4} = total$

So we need $2 \frac{1}{4}$ cups of butter, but Angie only has $1 \frac{5}{8}$ . Let's subtract what Angie has from the total to see how much more she needs.

$2 \frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{5}{8} = n$
$\frac{9}{4} - \frac{13}{8} = n$
we will need the least common denominator for both fractions
$\frac{2}{2} *(\frac{9}{4}) - \frac{13}{8} = n$
$\frac{18}{8} - \frac{13}{8} = n$
$\frac{5}{8} = n$

So Angie need $\frac{5}{8}$ cups more of butter for the recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=-14

x=x

y=x+20

x+(x+20)=-14

x=-34/2

x=-17

y=-17+20

y=3

6k^3+10k^2−56k and 5(7k−3)(3k−7)share a common binomial factor. What binomial factor do they share?

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$6k^3+10k^2-56k\\2k(3k^2+5k-28)\\=2k[3k^2+12k-7k-28]\\=2k[3k(k+4)-7(k+4)]\\=2k(k+4)(3k-7)$

common factor is 3k-7
