Answer: 1 cup of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
A recipe for banana bread requires 3 cups of bananas for every 1 1/2 cups of sugar used.
Converting 1 1/2 cups of sugar to improper fraction becomes 3/2 cups of sugar.
If 3 cups of bananas is required for 3/2 cups of sugar,
x cups of bananas will require 1 cup of sugar
3x / 2 = 3
3x = 6
x = 6/3 = 2
Therefore,
2 cups of bananas will require 1 cup of sugar.
We are looking for the number of cups of sugar that would require 2 cups of bananas.
We already got the answer.
1 cup of sugar would be used if 2 cups of bananas are used.
Remember.
positive number x positive number = positive number
positive number x negative number = negative number
negative number x positive number = negative number
negative number x negative number = positive number
So if both numbers have the same sign, either both positive or both negative, then the product will be positive.
Answer:
x= -8
Explain:
You first have to make the variable by itself so you subtract 3 on both sides. The x is by itself and you finish by subtracting -5 to 3 and you get the answer x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms (terms with the same exponent).
"Standard form" means to list terms so the exponents go from high to low (descending order).
