4x - 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4) Given
(4x - 2x) + 8 = 6(x + 4)
2x + 8 = 6(x + 4) Combine like terms
2x + 8 = (6)(x) + (6)(4)
2x + 8 = 6x + 24 Distributive Property
2x - 6x + 8 = 6x - 6x + 24
-4x + 8 = 24 Subtraction Property of Equality
-4x + 8 - 8 = 24 - 8
-4x = 16 Subtraction Property of Equality
-4x : (-4) = 16 : (-4)
x = -4 Division Property of Equality
Answer:
225 frogs
Step-by-step explanation:
Total population of frogs = 300 frogs.
Observed population of frogs = 24
6 of the 24 observed frogs had spots
Which means , the number of frogs that did not have spots = 24 - 6 = 18 frogs.
We were told to find how many of the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots. We would form a proportion.
If 24 frogs = 18 frogs with no spots
300 frogs = Y
Cross multiply
24Y = 300 × 18
Y = (300 × 18) ÷ 24
Y = 5400 ÷ 24
Y = 225 frogs.
This means out of 300 frogs, 225 frogs do not have spots.
Therefore, the total population that can be predicted to NOT have spots is 225 frogs.
the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots
No, she is wrong. 0.00001 has 4 zeros in front of the one and behind the decimal, making it 1/100000 or 1/10^5. For 0.001, there are 2 zeros in front, making it 1/1000 or 1/10^3. Since a number gets smaller as the denominator gets larger, and 10^5>10^3, 1/10^5<1/10^3
Answer:
W = 1/2L - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The width is 4 less than 1/2 of the length.
w = 1/2L - 4
