So cancel each equation terms on both sides of the equation and move constant to the right side and change its sign. So your answer is A=-3
Your welcome
Say you have 3 cakes. How many cakes would you have eaten if you ate 1/3 of the three cakes? One, you have eaten one cake, out of the three you have.
How many cakes do you have left if you eat 2/3 of the three cakes? Two, you have eaten 2 cakes, and have 1 cake left.
It is a similar approach here, except the confusing part is working "forward", when you really have to work "backward". If you have driven 30 miles, and you have driven 2 parts out of the trip when there is 3 parts of the trip, how many miles have you driven? Hint: Dividing 30 by 2 gives you what fraction of the distance to Jeff's grandmother?
Answer:
1.40 litres; order of operations
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
First, write it out in the full form.
#1 (.75 litres of blackberry juice + .60 litres of blueberry juice + .25 litres of guava juice) - .20 litres drank = 1.4 litres of juice remaining in the jar
Part B:
Removing the wordy descriptions from the expression, we get the following:
#2 (.75 + .60 +.25) - .20
or, by adding the numbers in the parentheses first:
#3 (1.60) - .20 = 1.40
#4 1.40 litres of juice left in the jar
The order of operations was used in moving from step #2 to step #3, as operations within the parentheses were conducted before subtracting the .20 litres of juice which were drank.
