Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) You go about this by using the given equation.
Left + Right = Total
JK + KL = JL
(2x -3) + 11 = 4x
8 = 2x . . . . . simplify, subtract 2x
4 = x . . . . . . divide by 2
__
b) JL = 4x = 4·4
JL = 16
For this case, the first thing you should do is define a variable.
We have then:
g: unknown number.
We now write the expression in algebraic form.
the sum of 5 and a number:
g + 5
Answer:
An expression that means the sum of 5 and a number is:
C. g + 5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Let the first piece be x
Let the second piece 4x
Let the third piece = 5x
Total length = 40 inches.
Equation
x + 4x + 5x = 40 Combine
Solution
10x = 40 Divide by 10
10x/10 = 40/10
x = 4
Answer
The smallest piece (x) = 4
The middle piece 4x = 4*4 = 16
The largest piece 5x= 5 * 4 = 20
It would be 16 more 6th graders that are not in either band or orchestra.
15 6th Graders in band
9 6th Graders in both classes
+18 6th Graders in orchestra
-----
42 6th Graders in either class
100 6th Graders in total
-42 6th Graders in either class
-------
58 6th Graders in neither class
58-42= 16 more 6th Graders that are not in either class
You're welcome :)
