Solve parenthesis first. 1/2(-4x+6). That means you gonna have to distribute .
1/2 of -4x would be -2x and 1/2 of 6 is 3. so -2x+3.
1/3(9x-24) so 3x-8. 
-2x+3+3x-8. combine like terms. so it would be x(or 1x if you perfer it) . x-5

Dante and Mia have a total of 350 pennies in their piggy banks, altogether. After Dante lost half of his pennies and Mia lost on
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

150 pennies were lost altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial number of pennies owned by Dante be x pennies

Let the initial number of pennies owned by Mia be y pennies

Mathematically ;

x + y = 350 •••••••(i)

So after losing half, dante will have x/2 pennies left.

Mia lost 1/3 so she will have 2/3y left

So after all the losses, they both had equal amount of pennies

This means that;

x/2 = 2y/3

Cross multiply;

3x = 4y •••••••(ii)

Let’s solve both equations simultaneously;

From i , x = 350-y

Substitute this into equation ii

3(350-y) = 4y

1050-3y = 4y

7y = 1050

y = 1050/7

y = 150

since x = 350-y

x = 350-150 = 200

Now Dante loss x/2 = 200/2 = 100

Mia lost 1/3y = 1/3 * 150 = 50

Total pennies lost = 100 + 50 = 150

• Write an expression for the perimeter of a
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

10 (X+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 2x + 5

Width = 3x

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(L + W)

P= 2\times (2x+5+3x)

P= 2\times (5x+ 5)

Now, taking 5 as common

P= 2\times 5 (x + 1)

∴ Perimeter of rectangle= 10\times (x+1)

Margo boils 500 L of water to make 80 g of the pasta is Margo boils 2500 mL of water how many grams of pasta can she make?
aalyn [17]
She boils 500 L of water and makes 80 grams, we are being asked to covert and solve for how many grams of pasta she will make if she boils 2500 mL.

The first think we need to do is convert 2500 mL to how many Liters.

2500 mL = ? how many liters.

2500 ml = 2.5 liters

Now, we need to set up a proportion to see how many grams we can make if we boiled 2.5 liters of water.

Set up a proportion.

500/80 = 2.5/x

First, we cross multiply.

500*x = 80*2.5
500x = 200

Now, divide each side by 500 to solve for x.

500x/500 = 200/500
x= 0.4

Final answer: Margo can make 0.4 grams of pasta if he boils 2500 mL of water.
