When you isolate the variable to one side of the equation, you have to use the given operation to simplify the number on the other side of the equal sign.
Ex: 4x + 8 = 40
This is a simple one-step equation, but to solve this, first, you need to subtract 8 from 40.
4x = 40
- 8
4x = 32
Then, you divide 4x by 32.
4x = 32
4x 4
x = 8
However, with multi-step equations you have to do these three important steps.
1.) Distribute - the number that's on the outside of the parentheses, gets multiplied to all the numbers except for the one on the right side of the equal sign
2.) Combine Like Terms - numbers with coefficients like 3x, 6y, or 7a, that have another one like it, you need to add them together and keep the variable.
3.) Simplify - it's almost like combining like terms, except if you have more than one number with coefficient, then again, add all the numbers with the same variable together.
And by the way, coefficient basically is a "fancy" way to say "number with a variable attached".
I hope I helped :)
<span> x − 2y = −1 => x = 2y -1
2x + y = −12
2(2y - 1) + y = -12
4y - 2 + y = -12
5y = -10
y = -2
x = 2</span>·(-2) - 1
x = -4 - 1
x = -5

Again, a^2+b^2=c^2
c=10
b=9
10 squared is 100
9 squared is 81
100-81=19
The square root of 19, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is 4.36
Answer:
V=a^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cube is found by multiplying the length, width, and height. A cube has the same length, width and height. In this case is it 9, so you multiply 9 by 9, three times, obtaining 729, which is your volume.
V=9^3
9x9x9
V=729
so you have the amount.
amount: 1200
then you have the ratio
ratio: 3:5
you have the count.
count: 2
and then you have the shares
shares: 8
and the amount per share is 150.00
so the total amount of shares is the sum of each person's ratio so,
so 1:5:2:3:9 = 1 + 5 + 2 + 3 +9 = 20 shares. hope that helps you..
