Ten is mistakenly written by Tim in question.
Gabriel is making a mixture of compost and soil. In which he wants to mix 2 part compost to 10 parts potting soil. And he wants to end up with ten kilogram
It means compost is 2 pars out of 12 and potting soil is 10 parts out of 12
so, (2 / 12) x 10 kilogram of compost is used
= 1.66667 kilogram of compost Gabriel should use.
Answer: Joe's weekly allowance = $12
Step-by-step explanation:
Joe spent half of his weekly allowance playing mini-golf
Let a = his weekly allowance
This means Joe spent a/2 playing mini-golf.
To earn money, his parents let him weed the garden for $6
This means Joe's total money
= a + 6
What is his weekly allowance if he ended with $12?
This means he had $12 left after spending a/2 from ta total of (a +6)
Therefore,
(a +6) -a/2 = 12
Taking LCM of 2
[2(a+6)-a]/2=12
Cross multiplying by 2
2a + 12-a = 24
a+12 =24
a = 24-12 =$12
Joe's weekly allowance = $12
Plug 8 for y
8 = 2x + 4
Subtract 4
4 = 2x
Divide by 2
x = 2
Plug 16 for y
16 = 2x + 4
Subtract by 4
12 = 2x
Divide by 2
x = 6
Substitute 20 for y
20 = 2x + 4
16 = 2x
x = 8
Substitute 22 for y
22 = 2x + 4
18 = 2x
9 = x
So the values are 2, 6, 8, 9
