Answer:

g = j - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Jessie installed j axles. Convert words to math:

- "12 more" = + 12

- "the number of engine blocks her friend Gus installed yesterday" = g

Put it together: g + 12. This is equal to j: j = g + 12. Solve for g:

j = g + 12

g = j - 12

Lets use the variables "a" and "g" to solve.

a =  number of axles

g =  number of engine blocks

If Jessie has 12 more axles than the number of engine blocks, this means we are adding (g + 12).

Now, we have the expression a = g + 12

Solve for g since we are finding the number of engine blocks Gus Installed.

a = g + 12

~Subtract 12 to both sides

a - 12 = g + 12 - 12

a - 12 = g

Therefore, the answer is [ a - 12 = g ]

Best of Luck!

clint has 6 apple muffins, 2 corn muffins, and 4 bran muffins what fraction of muffins are bran weite the fraction in simplest f
Feliz [49]

Answer:

\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of bran muffins is expressed as bran muffins over total muffins.

Total muffins = 6 + 2 + 4 = 12 and bran muffins = 4, thus

fraction = \frac{4}{12} ← divide ( cancel ) each value by 4 )

fraction = \frac{1}{3} ← in simplest form

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-7)(8,−7) and is parallel to the line 5x+4y=165x+4y=16?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The equation of line that passes through the point (8,-7) and is parallel to the line 5x+4y=16 is  \mathbf{y=-\frac{5}{4}x+3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write an equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-7) and is parallel to the line 5x+4y=16.

The equation will be of form y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding slope of the line:

Since both the lines are parallel, and we know that parallel lines have same slope.

The slope of given line 5x+4y=16 can be found by writing in slope-intercept form y=mx+b

5x+4y=16\\4y=-5x+16\\y=-\frac{5}{4}x+16

Comparing with y=mx+b the slope m is: m=-\frac{5}{4}

So, the slope of required line is: m=-\frac{5}{4}

Now, finding y-intercept b

y-intercept can be found using slope m=-\frac{5}{4} and point (8,-7)

y=mx+b\\-7=-\frac{5}{4}(8)+b\\-7=-5(2)+b\\-7=-10+b\\b=-7+10\\b=3

So, we get y-intercept: b=3

Now, the equation of required line having slope m=-\frac{5}{4} and y-intercept b=3 is:

y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{5}{4}x+3

So, the equation of line that passes through the point (8,-7) and is parallel to the line 5x+4y=16 \mathbf{y=-\frac{5}{4}x+3}
