The correct answer is ( a . )
<span>2(8x - 4) = 32 distribute through parenthesis
16x - 8 =32 add 8 on both sides to isolate x
16x = 40 divide by 16 on both sides to isolate x
x= 40/16 simplify, Divide 40 by 16
x = 2.5 this is your final answer, I hope it helps!</span>
Answer: Each bow needs 4.67 yards of ribbon.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that each roll has 20 yd.
She used 3 + 1/2 rolls, then the total length used will be (3 + 1/2) times the length of each roll, this is:
(3 + 1/2)*20 yd = (6/2 + 1/2)*20yd = (7/2)*20yd = 70 yd.
With tose 70 yards of ribbon, she made 15 bows, then the length of ribbon used in each bow will be equal to the quotient between the total length used and the number of ribbons made with it, this is:
70yd/15 = 4.67 yards
Each bow needs 4.67 yards of ribbon.
