A basic unit of a chemical element
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
Answer:
y=-4/5 x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 8 x by 8 x. Do not put 8 x under 10 y or 70.
Then divide 10 by all of the terms.
Then you have: y= 7 - 8/10 x
But then you have to flip 7 and - 8/10 x
And get y= -8/10 x + 7
Simplified is y= 4/5 x + 7
REMEMBER: y=m x + b
M= Slope
B= y-intercept
Answer:
p = 10.44
Step-by-step explanation:
There is no solution. If the question was 81p / 9 = 94, it could be done.
The way it is written the ps cancel out and you get 9 = 94 which is impossible.
But let's assume you meant
81p / 9 = 94
Then you get 9p = 94 Divide both sides by 9
81p/9 = 94
9p = 94 Divide both sides by 9
9p/9 = 94/9
p = 10.44
