x = number of items that cost $8 per piece

if you buy x of these items for 8 dollars each, then 8*x represents how much you've spent so far. If you start off with $60, then 60-8x = -8x+60 is the total amount of money leftover in your pocket.

If you start off with $60 and end up with $28, then -8x+60 = 28 is the equation that models this. Solving for x leads to finding out how many of these items you have purchased. In this case, the solution is x = 5.

What is<br> is 1/4 + 9/10y -3/5y +7/8 written in simplest form?

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{9}{10}y - \frac{3}{5}y+\frac{7}{8}\\\\=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3}{5}y\\\\$

Combine like terms. 1/4 and 7/8 are like terms and LCD of 4 and 8 is 8

9/10y and -3/5y are like terms and LCD of 10 , 5 is 10

$= \frac{1*2}{4*2}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{3*2}{5*2}y\\\\=\frac{2}{8}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{9}{10}y-\frac{6}{10}y\\\\=\frac{9}{8}+\frac{3}{10}y$

Enter an equation in standard form to model the linear situation. A bathtub that holds 41 gallons of water contains 11 gallons o

WITCHER [35]

Answer: In this equation, let "x" equal the rate at which the tub will be filled. The tub holds 32 gallons, which will be one-half of the equation. The tub already contains 12 gallons, so this will be half of the other side of the equation. The rate is "x" gallons per minute, and the time it required was 5 minutes, so this would be "5x". Placing all these parts together gives an equation of (32 = 5x + 12) gallons per minute dispensed.
