Answer:
b = 4
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
<u>Algebra I</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
8b - 12 = 5b
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>b</u></em>
- Subtract 5b on both sides: 3b - 12 = 0
- Add 12 on both sides: 3b = 12
- Divide 3 on both sides: b = 4
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in b to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 8(4) - 12 = 5(4)
- Multiply: 32 - 12 = 20
- Subtract: 20 = 20
And we have our final answer!
together = add
add the fractions
3 7/10 + 5 9/10
add the whole numbers first
3+5=8
add the fractions
7/10+9/10= 16/10
8 16/10
reduce 16/10 divide by 2
16/2= 8
10/2= 5
8 8/5
whole number changes to 9
8-5=3
denominator stays the same
9 3/5
Answer:
9 3/5
10x^2 = 50x.....subtract 50x from both sides
10x^2 - 50x = 0...factor
10x(x - 5) = 0
10x = 0
x = 0 <== this one is eliminated because x cannot be zero
x - 5 = 0
x = 5 <== ur answer
Answer:
the cat weighs 21 pounds.
the dog weighs 43 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
dog = 3x-20 = x + 22
cat = x
3x-20 = x+22
3x = x+42 (add 20 to both sides)
2x = 42 (subtract x from both sides)
x = 21
