Answer:
"the difference of" means to subtract
Therefore, "the difference of 3 and a number" would be:
3-x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
160 is the answer because 8x20 is 160 also 20÷400 is 20 so that made pretty good sense
4/5x-8=3
move -8 to the other side and add
4/5x=3+8
4/5x=11
move 5x to the other side and multiply
4=5x*11
4=55x
4/55=x
Answer:
I haven't done expressions in a while but I say the safest bet would be D.
Answer:
The first choice is the one you want
Step-by-step explanation:
Use geometric means to solve for a first. The formula is
and 64 = 15a and a = 64/15
That one was quite easy. Finding b is a bit more difficult.
The formula for finding b is

Solving for b:

Filling in we have
and
and
so b = 136/15
