Simply present that you would split them up as a factor of two. ( make two lines going either vertically or horizontally. place in varriations, a marble in one line and a marble in the other and then count the leftover
<span>So we have a problem with two unknows and one equation. We have to express one over the other like this: 7a - 2b = 5a + b. First we separate one kind on the left side and the other kind on the right side: 7a - 5a = b + 2b. Then: 2a = 3b. Now we divide both sides by 2 and get: a= 3b/2.</span>
Answer:
-2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
first you are going to distrubute 2/5, so 2/5 times x is 2/5x and 2/5 times -2 is -4/5
next you set up the problem with those two answers which gives you:
2/5x - 4/5 = 4x
then multiply both sides of the equation by 5: 2x-4=20x
next move the constant to the right side and chnage the sign: 2x=20x+4
then combine like terms: -18x=4
after that divide both sides of the equation by -18: -2/9
so x= -2/9
I think is 2.5 centimeters
Answer:
2.25 or 2 1/4 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the weight of the food and water. To do this, find the difference between his backpack before the food and water and after. His backpack without the food is 7 3/4 pounds, and his backpack after is 11 3/4 pounds.
11 3/4 - 7 3/4
4
The food and water together weigh 4 pounds. We know the water weighs 1 3/4 pounds, so we can subtract it from the total to find what the food weighs.
4- 1 3/4
2 1/4
As a decimal: 2.25
The food weighs 2 1/4 or 2.25 pounds
