Subtract 8d from both sides

21 = 12d + 5 - 8d

Simplify 12d + 5 - 8d to 4d + 5

21 = 4d + 5

Subtract 5 from both sides

21 - 5 = 4d

Simplify 21 - 5 to 16

16 = 4d

Divide both side by 4

16/4 = d

Simplify 16/4 to 4

4 = d

Switch sides

d = 4

<u>Check answer</u>

8d + 21 =12d + 5

Let d = 4

8 × 4 + 21 = 12 × 4 + 5

Simplify 8 × 4 to 32

32 + 21 = 12 × 4 + 5

Simplify 12 × 4 to 48

32 + 21 = 48 + 5

Simplify 32 + 21 to 53

53 = 48 + 5

Simplify 48 + 5 to 53

53 = 53

there are 24 marbles in a bag: 2/16 of the marbles are red, 1/8 of the marbles are blue, 1/4 of the marbles are yellow, 1/3 of t

Roman55 [17]

Answer: 3 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, 6 yellow marbles, 8 black marbles, 4 silver marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

I know these are the correct number of marbles because I set up these numbers as fractions and solved for x.

For examples, 2/16 of the marbles are red. 2/16=x/24

You would do this because we are trying to find the number of marbles that are red out of the 24 marbles.

Next, we would do 24 divided by 16= 1.5 Then 1.5 times 2=3

You would follow this rule for each fraction of marbles in order to find the true number of marbles out of 24.

Which expression can be used to determine the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval mc001-1.jpg

Mrac [35]

The average rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval (a, b) is given by
$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Therefore, given a function, f(x), over an interval (2, 9), the average rate of change of the function can be found using the expression
$\frac{f(9)-f(2)}{9-2}$
