Answer:0.5, half a gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-9/14
Step-by-step explanation:
This is my simplest-
Do the keep-change-flip method for this problem (and also any problem involving this)
KEEP -3/8
CHANGE the division sign to multiplication
FLIP the last fraction. 7/12 to 12/7
Now solve the problem by multiplying the fractions
-3/8 × 12/7 =
-3 × 12 = -36
8 × 7 = 56
-36 / 56 =
Simplify it by dividing the numerator (up of the line) and denominator (below the line) to get -9/14
x in terms of b:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx + 10 = 16
-2bx = 6
x = 6 / -2b
x = -3/b
--------------------------------
when b = 3 then
-2(3x - 5) = 16
-6x + 10 = 16
-6x = 6
x = -1
Answer
The value of x in terms of b is -3/b
The value of x when b is 3 is -1
