There are 12 white ribbons, 15 red ribbons, and 11 blue ribbons.
38=(w-1)+(w+3)+w
combine like terms
38=2+3w
subtract 2 from both sides
36=3w
divide 3 on both sides
12=w
w-1=b
12-1=b
11=b
w+3=r
12+3=r
15=r
Check Your Work
w+r+b=38
15+11+12=38
38=38

Answer:
a) Amount of pasta remaining ≤ p(12 - 8)
b) Amount of pasta remaining ≤ 4p
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of pasta in one container = p
Let y represent the amount of pasta that is left.
Since the students eat 8 containers worth of pasta out of 12 pasta containers
But we weren't told that the students did not eat out of the 4 remaining pasta containers
y ≤ p(12 - 8)
where y = p(12 - 8) if the students did not touch the remaining 4 containers.
b) Using the distributive property
p(12 - 8) = 12p - 8p
y ≤ 12p - 8p
y ≤ 4p
There are 7/4 gallons leaking per hour. This is the same as 1.75 gallons per hour. Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
x=2,y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
y=8x-11 ----(1)
y=-7x+19----(2)
Replace (1) in (2)
8x-11 =-7x+19
8x+7x=19+11
15x =30
x =30÷2
x =2
If x=2,then replace x=2 in (1)
y=8(2)-11
y=16-11
y=5
