A gain in yards would be positive, therefore the best representation of a gain of five yards would be 5.
Answer should be -4
since there is no other context, we can assume that x is -4.
Divide numerator and denominator by 6:
12/18 = 2/3
I am going to do this problem with more of an algebraic approach weather or not its the way your teacher wants you to do it like this.
The way to do things algebraically is to just set variables for what you want to find and set up equations to represent each sentence.
As seen there are hamburgers and chickens in this problem. So let's set the numbers of hamburgers to x, and the numbers of chickens to y.
Now write out each sentence using variables.
1.) Tia sold 78 hamburgers and chicken tenders.
x+y=78
2.) If she sold 24 more hamburgers than chicken tenders.
x=y+24
Now that we have the 2 equations, its time to solve.
Since we have x=y+24, we can replace the x in the first equation with the second equation
y+24+y=78
2y+24=78
Now we can subtract 24 from both sides.
2y=54
Simplify
y=27
Solve for x
x=27+24=51
Done!
Answer:
8 possibilities
Step-by-step explanation:
The pies we have to choose from are 1)Apple 2)Cherry 3)Blueberry or 4)Peach.
The beverages we have to choose from are 1)Milk and 2)Juice.
Here are the possibilities:
Apple + Juice
Apple + Milk
Cherry + Juice
Cherry + Milk
Blueberry + Juice
Blueberry + Milk
Peach + Juice
Peach + Milk
So we have a total of 8 possibilities for one pie and one beverage.
