30 + 2w = 2 • (w - 15)

Equation at the end of step 1 :
Step 2 :
Equations which are never true :
Solve : 2 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation
Solve : w-15 = 0

Add 15 to both sides of the equation :
w = 15

You are trying to solve for "w", to do so you:

20 + 2w = 50 Subtract 20 on both sides

2w = 30 Divide 2 on both sides to get "w" by itself

w = 15

Your answer is B

Relate Fractions, Decimals, and Money. Write the money amount as a fraction in terms of dollars. The problems are $0.66 and $1.0

ozzi

You convert a decimal to a fraction by putting the digits to the right of the decimal point over "1" followed by the same number of zeros. (Most folks learn this in 3rd or 4th grade.)

0.66 = 66/100 . . . . . 2 decimals, so the denominator is 100

Then you reduce the fraction by canceling common factors. It helps to know your times tables and divisibility rules. (Or you can have your calculator do it.)

0.66 = 66/100 = 33/50
1.00 = 100/100 = 1

The following data points represent the number of points scored by each player on the Wildcats basketball team last game. ______

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the lowest half of the data (from the lower extreme to the median) and find the median of these numbers, that is called the lower quartile or quartile 1.
If you take the upper half of the data (from the upper extreme to the median) and find the median of these numbers, that is called the upper quartile or quartile 3.
The interquartile range is the difference between quartile 1 and quartile 3.

4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13
Median=8.5
Q1=6.5
Q3=10.5
10.5-6.5=4

Nataly [62]

You would take the amount of increase and divide it by the amount of total cost over the time period of certain months. Then you would multiply that number by the percentage of increase gained, and subtract 96.12 to get your answer.
