What is the sum or difference? (2m+7)-(3-4m) 2/3(6c+4)-(8c-5)

joe spends $8 on lunch and $6.50 on dry cleaning. He also buys 2 shiets that cost the same amount. joe spendes a total of $52. w

ANEK [815]

X=amout the shirts cost
52=8+6.50+2x
add 8 and 6.5
52=14.5+2x
subtract 14.5 from 52
37.5=2x
divide 37.5 by 2
x=18.75
It cost $18.75 for each shirt.

If z is inversely proportional to r, and z= 32 when r=1.5, find r when z=8.

lions [1.4K]

Inversely proportional: z = k/r
k = 32 * 1.5 = 48
Plug that into equation
8 = 48/r
Multiply both sides by r
8r = 48
Divide by 8
r = 6

A book has 12 chapters. The mean length of the chapters is 40 pages. How many total pages are there in the 12 chapters?

amm1812

Answer:

480

Step-by-step explanation:

Important Information:

A Book Has 12 Chapters.

The Mean length of the chapters is 40 pages.

Question to Answer:

How many total pages are there in the 12 chapters?

Explanation/Solution:

Let's assume that the total number of pages in the book is "x" pages.

To find the mean (average) we divide the total "x" by 12 because there are 12 chapters in the book, which would equal to 40.

$\frac{x}{12}$ =40

Multiply both sides by 12...

x = 480

Hence, The total number of pages in the 12 chapters is 480.

Two brothers want to share a large field equally.

Elan Coil [88]

Yes, the partition gives the two brothers equal shares.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Assume the entire field has an area of B. So one brother takes $\frac{1}{12} B$ , $\frac{1}{6}B$ , and $\frac{1}{4} B$

So we need to calculate how much this brother takes in terms of B.

To do this we calculate how much $\frac{1}{12} B + \frac{1}{6} B + \frac{1}{4} B$ is.

Step 2:

To add $\frac{1}{12} B + \frac{1}{6} B + \frac{1}{4} B$ ,

First take the LCM of the denominators 12, 6, and 4

The LCM is 12, we multiply the denominator to get the LCM value, this same value is multiplied to the numerator too.

$\frac{1}{12} B + \frac{1}{6} B + \frac{1}{4} B = \frac{1(1)}{12(1)} B + \frac{1(2)}{6(2)} B + \frac{1(3)}{4(3)} B \\\\\frac{1}{12} B + \frac{1}{6} B + \frac{1}{4} B= \frac{1B +2B+3B}{12} = \frac{B}{2}$

Step 3:

One brother gets $\frac{1}{2} B$ , so we need to calculate how much the other brother gets.

The other brother's share = $B - \frac{1}{2} B = \frac{1}{2}B$

So both the brothers get equal shares
