Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression is a mathematical statement that does not contain an equal sign. It cannot be solved for unless the value of the variable is given. An equation is a mathematical statement or sentence comprised of two equalities or expressions joined with an equal sign.

If the left side is equal to the right side your answer is correct.

Bernice estimated that 69% of 242 is 168. Is her estimate reasonable?

ycow [4]

Her estimate is not reasonable.

Since she estimated 69%, you could do either of these options. You could...
A. Divide 242 (or .5) to show how much half off would be, then compare her estimate with half of 242 (121). OR...
B. Simply divide 242 by 69% (.69) and compaor her estimate to the exact amount (166.98).

I hope this helps!

What is 6-2p=p+9 ?Because I don't know it

Hey there!

Firstly, you have to $\bold{simplify}$ each of the sides of your equation
$\bold{6-2p-p+9\downarrow}$
$\bold{6+(-2p)=p+9\downarrow}$
$\rightarrow\bold{-2p+6=p+9}$
Now that you have that portion out of the way, we could move on to our second step... which is to $\bold{subtract}$ by the value of $\bold{p}$ on each of your sides
$\bold{-2p+6-p-p+9-p\downarrow}$
$\rightarrow\bold{-3p+6-9}$ (you get this because we solve the particular equation we added above)
Thirdly, you have to $\bold{subtract}$ by the number $\bold{6}$ on each of your sides
$\bold{-3p+6-6=9-6\downarrow}$
$\bold{Cancel:6-6}$ because it equals to $\bold{0}$
$\bold{Keep:9-6}$ because it brings us closer and closer to the answer of $\bold{p}$
Fourthly, we have to $\bold{divide}$ by the number $\bold{-3}$ on each of your sides
$\bold{\frac{-3p}{-3}=\frac{3}{-3}}$
$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:p=-1}}}$ $\checkmark$
