Although the problem above may look really different or much harder than any equation we have solved before, guess what?! It’s n

ot! We still use the same properties to solve these kinds of equations. On the left side of the equation you have a fraction with a numerator of (4b+8) and a denominator of (2). The variable is in the numerator of the fraction so we will need to get rid of the denominator first. The numerator is being DIVIDED by the denominator so how do we undo division? We multiply!
Multiply both sides by the denominator, 2, and simplify.

(2)4b+82=10(2)

4b+8=

Now we have a simple two-step equation. Subtract 8 from both sides.

4b=

Lastly, divide both sides by 4 to isolate the variable.

b=

As always, we can check our work by plugging our answer back into our original equation.

Answer:

4b+8 = 20

---------------

4b = 20

-------------------

b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for b in the following equation:

\frac{4b + 8}{2}  = 10

When we multiply each term by 2 the denominator cancels out:

\displaystyle 2 \times \frac{4b + 8}{2}  = 10 \times 2\\\\4b + 8 = 20

Next, we subtract 8:

4b +8 - 8 = 20 - 8\\4b = 20

Final step, we isolate the variable. We cancel the multiplication on the left side when dividing by 4 on each term

\displaystyle 4b = 20\\\\\frac{4b}{4} = \frac{20}{4}\\\\b = 5

A store sells rope by the meter. The equation p=0.8L represents the price p(in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is L meter
Margaret [11]

Answer:

1. $0.80 or 80 cents

2. 1.25 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation p=0.8L represents the price p (in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is L meters long.

1. To find how much the nylon costs per meter, take L = 1 (this means you are calculating the price of a piece of nylon rope that is 1 meter long):

L=1,\\ \\p=\$0.8\cdot 1=\$0.80

2. To find how long a piece of nylon rope that costs $1.00 is, substitute into the equation p = 1:

p=1,\\ \\1=0.8L\\ \\L=\dfrac{1}{0.8}=\dfrac{10}{8}=\dfrac{5}{4}=1.25\ meters

Which of the following is NOT a solution to the inequality below? 4x+9&gt;63
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

A. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

When you plug the numbers in, 4 times 13 = 52+9=61 and 63 is still greate so anything above 13 would make the sentence correct. So that is why 13 is NOT a solution.
