Step-by-step explanation: The easiest way to do this and the way I commonly use is to subtract 17 from 89then make it negative as you are making the negative number smaller by adding a smaller number therefore your answer is -72
Step 1: to solve this equation first subtract 4.9 from both sides.
w + 4.9 - 4.9 = 6.88 - 4.9
When you reduce that your answer should be w = 1.92
Therefore the weight of ingredients other than granola in Miranda's trail mix is 1.92
The answer is 56 hope this helps
Answer:
Second choice:


Fifth choice:


Step-by-step explanation:
Let's look at choice 1.


I'm going to subtract 1 on both sides for the first equation giving me
. I will replace the
in the second equation with this substitution from equation 1.

Expand using the distributive property and the identity
:




So this not the desired result.
Let's look at choice 2.


Solve the first equation for
by dividing both sides by 2:
.
Let's plug this into equation 2:



This is the desired result.
Choice 3:


Solve the first equation for
by adding 3 on both sides:
.
Plug into second equation:

Expanding using the distributive property and the earlier identity mentioned to expand the binomial square:



Not the desired result.
Choice 4:


I'm going to solve the bottom equation for
since I don't want to deal with square roots.
Add 3 on both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:

Plug into equation 1:

This is not the desired result because the
variable will be squared now instead of the
variable.
Choice 5:


Solve the first equation for
by subtracting 1 on both sides:
.
Plug into equation 2:

Distribute and use the binomial square identity used earlier:



.
This is the desired result.
