To solve this, write a proportion of Pounds to Cost:
Pounds:     3         x
     Cost: 25.50   42.50

Cross multiply 3 and 42.50, this gives you 127.5
Then, divide by 25.5
This gives you 5.
You can buy 5 pounds with $42.50

Hnmm what's simple, follow this structure- always find the rate(by dividing) first find the rate of 3 pounds and 25.50
3pounds=. 1pound=?
25.50. Try for 1LBS So in order to get this divide 3 by the number that gets it 1 (for one pound)

Which is 3 so 3pounds divided by 3 = the one pound you want. So now divide the 25.50 by 3 to get 8.50. Now this is the problem
1pound=so ____pounds=
8.50. 42.50
All you have to do is divide 42.50 by 8.50 to get 5 FIVE POUNDS EQUAL 42.50 your welcome, I think :)

Solve<br> h-w<br> Solve m = for the<br> 8<br> variable h.<br> I
Ilya [14]

Answer:

1) m = h - w/8

Subtract h from both sides.

m - h = -w/8

Subtract m from both sides.

-h = -m - w/8

Divide all terms by -1.

h = m + w/8.

2) m = h - w/8

Get rid of the denominator 8 by multiplying 8/1 to all terms.

8m = 8h - w

Add w on both sides and subtract 8m from both sides.

w = 8h - 8m

3) w = x + y/z

Get rid of the denominator z by multiplying it to all terms.

wz = xz + y

Subtract xz from both sides of the equation.

wz - xz = y OR y = wz - xz

4) w = x + y/z

Subtract x from both sides.

w - x = y/z

Get rid of the denominator by multiplying it to all terms.

wz - xz = y

Now factor the expression wz - xz.

z(w - x) = y

Divide both sides by w - x.

z = y / w - x

This is read as z equals to y divided by w minus x.

5) The area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh

First, get rid of the denominator by multiplying both sides by 2.

2A = bh

To find b, divide both sides by h.

2A/h = b

6) P = kt/v

Multiply both sides by v.

Pv = kt

Divide both sides by t.

Pv/t = k OR k = Pv/t.

3/8n+5(n-6)=1 7/8n-2
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

n = 112/13 = 8.615

Step-by-step explanation:

(3/8) n + 5n - 30 = (17/8)n - 2

(3/8)n +5n - (17/8)n = 30-2

(13/4)n = 28

n = 28 * 4/13

n = 112/13

n = 8.615
