You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
1/2
When you put a square root into exponential form, the square root turns into an exponential fraction. Since the square root is 2, our fraction would be 1/2
If our root was a cube root, our exponent would be 1/3, etc.
Answer:
-5/24
Step-by-step explanation:
You first change -7/12 to -14/24, and 3/8 to 9/24 so they have the same denominator. You then do -14/24 + 9/24. That will be the same as the opposite of the answer to 14/24 - 9/24.
14/24 - 9/24 = 5/24
-5/24
1)
x+10<-7
bring 10 to the other side
x<-10-7
x<-17
2)
-3x-4>5
bring -4 to the other side
-3x>9
divide -3 at the other side, since it is negative it changes to less than
x<-3
False because to find a reciprocal u gotta divide that number by one (example: 1 divided by 8 is 1/8) there you go , so therefore the answer is false. :)
