Answer:

26 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of servings of vanilla ice cream be x.

Number of servings of chocolate ice cream

= x -12

(since it has 12 servings less than vanilla)

Total servings= servings of chocolate+ vanilla

x + x-12= 40

2x -12 =40 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

2x= 40 +12 <em>(</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

2x= 52 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

x= 52 ÷2

x= 26

Therefore, there are 26 servings of vanilla ice cream in the freezer.

Lia has a dog and a cat. Together, the pets weigh 24 pounds. The dog weighs 2 times as much as the cat.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The dog weighs 16 pounds, while the cat weighs 8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the dog d, and the weight of the cat c.

d+c=24

d=2c

Substitute the second equation into the first:

(2c)+c=24

3c=24

c=8

d=24-8=16

Hope this helps!

What's (-5, 3) reflected along x-axis
Anna71 [15]
Whenever you reflect a point over the x axis, the x coordinate stays the same and the y coordinate is negated. In this case, the y coordinate which is 3 will be negated to become -3, and the x coordinate which is -5 will remain the same. Therefore, the new point is (-5,-3).

I hope this helps.

90 x= 81 + 25 <br> I need help ?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

x = \frac {53} {45}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Combine on the right side </u>

90x = 81 + 25

90x = 106

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by 90 </u>

\frac {90x} {90} = \frac {106} {90}

x = \frac {106/2} {90/2}

x = \frac {53} {45}

Answer:  x = \frac {53} {45}

My brother needs help and I have load of hw plz help
Ilya [14]
The ratio indicates that there are 8 dolls for every 7 teddy bears. That means that if there is 16 dolls, then there is 14 teddy bears. And that if there is 24 dolls, then there is 21 teddy bears. You could continue this pattern, or you could divide and multiply. If you have 160 dolls, then do 160/8 to simplify the ratio. You get 20. So if there is (8x20) dolls, then there is (7x20) teddy bears. 7x20 is 140, so there are 140 teddy bears.
