Answer:
-7 = h
Step-by-step explanation:
15.3 + 1h = 1.3 - 1h
<u> +1h +1h</u>
15.3 + 2h = 1.3
Remember what you do to one side you MUST do to the other.
15.3 + 2h = 1.3
<u>-15.3 -15.3</u>
2h = -14
Now to isolate the variable you divide both sides by 2 to get, h = -7
Hope that helps and have a great day!
To establish this equation we first need to assign some variables.
Let us assign x as the number of hours he has worked
and assign y as the total amount of money that he has earned
Therefore the equation y=36.50x is the equation that correctly represents how much money he makes regardless of how many hours he works. Just plug in how many hours you want for x and then solve the equation and you will get how much money he makes in x amount of hours. This is also proportional because for every hour that he works he gets the same salary of 36.50. It is proportional because no matter how many hours he works the salary will go up the same amount for each extra hour he works. The proportion is 36.50 dollars per hour worked.
Not really sure what you are looking for, but this is how to solve equations such as these.
Let:
x = number of pounds of granola
y = numer of pounds of walnuts
The equation he can use to compute the total cost would be:
$2.00x + $6.00y = $12.00
We know that he bought 3 pounds of granola, so we plug in that for the x value:
$2.00(3) + $6.00y = $12.00
$6.00 + $6.00y = $12.00
To isolate the unknown value which is y, we first need to subtract $6.00 from both sides of the equation:
$6.00 + $6.00y - $6.00 = $12.00 - $6.00
$6.00y = $6.00
Then we divide both sides by $6.00:
$6.00y/$6.00 = $6.00/$6.00
y = 1
So the number of bags of walnuts he can buy is 1 bag.
