Answer:

Let x be the number of silver medals.

As there were two more gold medals than silver ones, gold medals are x+2

We also know that the number of bronze medals was 4 less than the sum of gold and silver, so if there are x + 2 of gold and x of silver, there are x+x+2-4 of bronze.

Now, we can do an equation, as we know there were a total of 28 medals:

x + x + 2 + x + x + 2 - 4 = 28

And we isolate x:

4x = 28

x = 28/4 = 7

There were 7 silver medals, so there were 9 gold ones (7-2) and 12 of bronze (9+7-4).

Solve the M <br> -5 m = -35
dedylja [7]

Answer: <em>m = 7</em>

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, since a -5 is being multiplied by <em>m</em>, in order to get <em>m</em> by itself, we must divide both sides of the equation by -5.

On the left side, our -5's cancel out and we are left with <em>m</em>. On the right side, -35 ÷ -5 gives us 7. So m = 7.

To check our answer, we plug 7 back in for <em>m</em> in the original equation and we get -5 (7) = -35 which is a true statement so we know our answer is correct.

Don't just do this problem in your head. It's extremely important to develop the habit of putting all your steps down on paper or digitally. It will really pay off for you down the line.

Andy is hanging wallpaper in his kitchen. He is able to cover of the walls in the room using 6 rolls of wallpaper. What is the n
Alchen [17]

Answer: Andy covers all the walls of his kitchen using 6 rolls of a wallpaper.

To Find:

Number of rolls used per wall.

Solution:

Since, we know that the shape of a kitchen is a cuboid.

And a cuboid has total 6 faces, with 4 walls, one roof and one floor.

So, total number of walls in Andy's kitchen = 4

Now, it is given that he uses 6 rolls of wallpaper to cover 4 walls completely.

In order to find the number of rolls used per wall, we'll have to divide the total number of rolls used with the total number of walls.

Number of rolls used per wall =

                                                 So, 1.5 rolls are used to cover one wall.
