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.

How to solve: 3x + 5 = x + 14
jasenka [17]
Combine like terms:
subtract x from both sides to get
2x+5=14
subtract 5
2x=9
isolate x:
divide 2 from both sides to isolate x
x=9/2
that's your final answer. unless your teacher wants you to put it in decimal form in which all you do is divide 9÷2.

If a/b = 2 /5, b/c = 3 /8, a/c =??​
scoray [572]

Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

By question it's given that ,

\implies \dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{2}{5}

\implies \dfrac{b}{c}=\dfrac{3}{8}

And we need to find out the value of a/c .For that Multiply both of them , we have ;

\implies \dfrac{a}{b} \times\dfrac{b}{c}=\dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{8} \\\\\implies \dfrac{a}{c}= \dfrac{3}{20}

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>required</u><u> answer</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>3/</u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

Which value of x makes this equation true?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

opening the bracket on the LHS, we have

-8x-40= -3x+x-7-3

-8x-40= -2x-10

collecting like terms

-8x+2x= -10+40

-6x= 30

divide both sides by -6

x= -5
