<h3>Final answer: 6/5</h3>

<u />

<u>SOLUTION</u>

• -4 = 5(p -2)

-4 = (5)(p) + (5)(-2) • Distribute

-4 = 5p + (-10)

-4 = 5p - 10

• 5p - 10 = -4

• 5p - 10 + 10 = -4 + 10

5p = 6

• $\frac{5p}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$

p = $\frac{6}{5}$

simplify both sides of the equation
flip the equation
add 10 to both sides
divide both sides by 5
we would be getting the final answer of 6/5

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor of all three terms. 24c + 36d + 18 =

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

$24c + 36d + 18$ $= 6(4c + 6d+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$24c + 36d + 18$

Required

Factorize

$24c + 36d + 18$

Expand each term

$6*4c + 6 *6d+6 *3$

Factor 6 out of the expression

$6(4c + 6d+3)$

Hence:

$24c + 36d + 18$ $= 6(4c + 6d+3)$

When 40% of a number is added to the number the result is 210

MAVERICK [17]

So it gives you the "= 210" part of it so you just need to figure out how to write "40% of a number is added to the number"

the questions already tells you that "the number" is "x"

so that means "40% of x is added to x"
instead of writing "add" you can replace it with a plus sign "+"
(40% of x) + x
another way to write 40% of x is 0.40x
so your equation is .4x + x = 210

Debnil has 6 teaspoons of salt. The ratio of teaspoons to tablespoons is 3:1. How many tablespoons of salt does Debnil have?

forsale [732]

Debnil have 2 tablespoons to salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of teaspoons of salt = 6

Ratio of teaspoons to tablespoons = 3:1

Let,

x be the number of tablespoon of salt for 6 teaspoons.

Ratio of teaspoons to tablespoons = 6:x

Using proportion

Ratio of teaspoons to tablespoons :: Ratio of teaspoons to tablespoons

$3:1::6:x$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$6*1=3*x\\6=3x\\3x=6$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{6}{3}\\x=2$

Debnil have 2 tablespoons to salt.

How to erite a sequence of 1/4 , 1/2,3 write a rule for the sequence 1/4 1/2 3/4

FrozenT [24]

The equation for finding the equation of an arithmetic sequence is an=a1+(n-1)d, where n is the input for the sequence, a1 is the first term, and d is the difference between each term.

a1= 1/4
d= 1/4

an= 1/4 + (n-1)(1/2) - First you need to distribute the 1/2 to both the n and -1 to get: an= 1/4 + 1/2n -1/2.

Then you need to add like terms (1/4-1/2) to get an=1/2n-1/4. Hope this helps!
