Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
9x - 8(x - 6) = 52
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute -8: 9x - 8x + 48 = 52
- Combine like terms: x + 48 = 52
- Subtract 48 on both sides: x = 4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
9(4) - 8(4 - 6) = 52
36 - 8(-2) = 52
36 + 16 = 52
52 = 52
Because if you did not you would not have a exact answer.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 pints in 1 quart
You have, for example, 6 pt of liquid
Since there are 2 pints in 1 quart, divide 6 and 2 together to get the qt amount you have
6/2 = 3
You have 3 qts
C is your answer
hope this helps
3/7 = 9/x
cross multiply because thats how u solve proportions
(3)(x) = (7)(9)
3x = 63
x = 63/3
x = 21
and if u will notice : 3/7 and 9/21 ....9/21 reduces to 3/7....so these are equivalent fractions...because proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
