Answer:
1) 80 people 2) 15 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
(x = the number of people)
500 + 8x = 1140 ← ($500 initially plus $8 per person equals $1140)
8x = 640 ←(subtract the $500 from each side)
x = 80 ←(divide by the $8 per person to get the number of people)
------
(x = the number of weeks)
242 = 62 + 12x ←(The cost of the snake ($242) is equal to her $62 plus $12 she saves every week)
180 = 12x ←(subtract the $62 from both sides)
15 = x ←(divide by the $12 per week)
1/4 because you just divde the numerator and the denominator by 12
Answer:2(p+q)
Step-by-step explanation:
P=(3a-q)
Remove bracket
P=3a-q
Add q to both sides of the equation
P+q=3a-q+q
P+q=3a
Divide both sides by 3
(p+q)/3=3a/3
(p+q)/3=a
a=(p+q)/3
6a=6 x a
6 x a=6 x (p+q)/3
6a=2(p+q)
The answer is x - 5
To solve (x^2 - 8x + 15) /(x - 3) you factor the numerator and denominator and cancel the common factors.
