Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) You go about this by using the given equation.
Left + Right = Total
JK + KL = JL
(2x -3) + 11 = 4x
8 = 2x . . . . . simplify, subtract 2x
4 = x . . . . . . divide by 2
__
b) JL = 4x = 4·4
JL = 16
Answer:
D)
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, we know that the initial boiling point is 212 degrees F. For every 1 added to E, the boiling point decreases by 2. So, we havethe equation 212 - 2E or -2E + 212 = b or D).
Convert 1 3/5 to an improper fraction;
-1 × 5 + 3/5 ÷ -2/3
Simplify 1 × 5 to 5
-5 + 3/5 ÷ -2/3
Simplify 5 + 3 to 8
-8/5 ÷ -2/3
Use this rule: a ÷ b/c = a × c/b
-8/5 × 3/-2
Use this rule; a/b × c/d = ac/bd
-8 × 3/5 × - 2
Simplify 8 × 3 to 24
-24/5 × -2
Simplify 5 × -2 to -10
- 24/-10
Move the negative sing to the left
-(-24/10)
Simplify 24/10 to 12/5
-(-12/5)
Simplify brackets
12/5
Convert to a mixed fraction
<u>= 2 2/5</u>
