Answer:
64 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
Each crust uses 4 cups of flour.
So, 16 crusts uses 64 cups of flour. (16x4)
2|7 − 7x| = 2x + 4
|7 - 7x| = x + 2
7 - 7x = x + 2 or 7 - 7x = -(x + 2)
-8x = -5 or 7 - 7x = -x - 2
x = 5/8 or -6x = -9
x = 5/8 or x = 9/6
x = 5/8 or x = 3/2
To check for extraneous solutions, we check both solutions in the original equation.
<em>Check solution 5/8:</em>
2|7 - 7x| = 2x + 4
|7 - 7x| = x + 2
|7 - 7 * 5/8| = 5/8 + 2
|56/8 - 35/8| = 5/8 + 16/8
21/8 = 21/8
<u>Solution x = 5/8 works.</u>
<em>Check solution 3/2:</em>
2|7 - 7x| = 2x + 4
|7 - 7x| = x + 2
|7 - 7 * 3/2| = 3/2 + 2
|14/2 - 21/2| = 3/2 + 4/2
|-7/2| = 7/2
7/2 = 7/2
<u>Solution 3/2 also works.</u>
Answer: x = 5/8 or x = 3/2
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fractions are division! If you don't know what a quotient is, It is basically a more complicated way of saying "find the answer by dividing." So we always divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). So we get 14÷-2 and we can see that -2 is a negative number, so remember that a positive times or divided by a negative is always a negative number. So therefore we get -7 as our quotient.
