Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1+3+4 = 8

480 / 8 = 60

60 x 1 = 60 (concrete)

60 x 3 = 180 (sand)

60 x 4 = 240 (gravel)

60:180:240

-7/8 - (-h) = -7/12 solve for h pls show work

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The answer is 7/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached a picture, but I'll try to walk through it here.

1) A negative and a negative makes a positive, so h becomes positive.

2) I added 7/8 to both sides, in order to "isolate the variable", which simply means to get h by itself, on one side of the equation (you'll likely hear it said both ways).

3) I multiplied 7/8 by 3/3, and multiplied -7/12 by 2/2. This is known as a common denominator, which in this case is 24. You can only add and subtract fractions that have a common denominator.

4) Multiply both of the fractions to get 21/24 + (-14/24). "Adding a negative" is the same thing as subtracting.

5) 21 - 14 = 7, and since our denominators are the same, the answer is 7/24.

You can confirm the answer by substituting, or "plugging" 7/24 into your original equation, in place of h.

Answer:

1. x = 39.67

2. x = 15

3. x = 49.29

4. x = -12.8

5. x = 96

6. x = 42

7. x = 36

8. x = 0

9. x = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

Just remember to always isolate the unknown. Here are the solutions to your problem. I will explain each step for the first for you to give you an idea how the others were worked out.

1. $\dfrac{3x}{7}-2 = 15$

Add 2 to both sides to get rid of -2 on the left side.

$\dfrac{3x}{7}-2+(2)=15+(2)///dfrac{3x}{7}=17$

Multiply both sides by 7 to get rid of 7 on the left side.

$\dfrac{3x}{7}\times 7 = 17\times 7\\\\3x = 119$

Divide both sides by 3 to get rid of 3 on the left side.

$\dfrac{3x}{3} = \dfrac{119}{3}\\\\x = 39.67$

You could also transpose everything by the x to the other side of the equation. Just remember that whatever OPERATION used on the original side, must be opposite on the other side. I'll use the second problem to show this.

$\dfrac{2x}{5}+1=7$
