There's no way for me to do that, because my expression
is totally blank, and doesn't involve ' m ' in any way.
But if you'll come back and give us <u>your</u> expression, I'll
evaluate it for m=12, and I'll also show you how.
Answer:
x = -3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
5(x + 4) = -2(-4 - x) + 3
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 5x + 20 = 8 + 2x + 3
- Combine like terms: 5x + 20 = 2x + 11
- Subtract 2x on both sides: 3x + 20 = 11
- Subtract 20 on both sides: 3x = -9
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = -3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 - -3) + 3
- Simplify: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 + 3) + 3
- Add: 5(1) = -2(-1) + 3
- Multiply: 5 = 2 + 3
- Add: 5 = 5
Here we see that 5 does indeed equal 5. ∴ x = -3 is a solution of the equation.
And we have our final answer!
So,
To find the percentage that the copper comprises, just divide the amount of copper by the total amount of metal in the coin. In this case, we will change the denominator so that it is 100, which can easily be converted into a percentage, which is really just a fraction out of 100.
![\frac{3.75}{5} = \frac{7.50}{10} = \frac{75}{100}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B3.75%7D%7B5%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B7.50%7D%7B10%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B75%7D%7B100%7D%20)
75%
75% of the metal in the coin is copper.
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
12 divided by 2 = 6, 24 divided by 4 = 6, 36 divded by 6 = 6, 48 divded by 8 = 6, 60 divided by 10 = 6.
All answers have 6 so yes it is proportional.
