5 years because when you divide 90 by 18 to get how many years it takes the tree to grow to 90 inches tall, you get 5.
When you have this type of problem, you need to combine the like-terms and isolate the variable.
3x + 122 = 22x - 11
Add 11 to both sides to get rid of it
3x + 122 + 11 = 22x - 11 + 11 (-11 + 11=0)
3x + 133 = 22x
Then you would bring the 3x to the other side, so subtract 3x from both sides
3x + 133 = 22x
-3x -3x
133 = 22x - 3x
133 = 19x
Then divide both sides by 19 to isolate x
133/19 = 19x/19
133/19 = 7, so x = 7
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
Allison can make 4 fruit parfaits.
Since one parfait requires 1/8 cup of yogurt, add:
1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8
They all share a common denominator, so:
1/8 + 1/8 +1/8 + 1/8 = 4/8
Simplify your answer (divide numerator and denominator by the common factor of 2) :
4/8 = 1/2
1/2 represents the total amount of cups of yogurt used. Since it took adding 1/8 four times that represents 4 parfaits.
