There are 8 markers in a set
nate has 9 markers
clara has 7 markers
For nate to have a set, you need:
9 markers - 1 marker = 8 markers
For clara to have a set, you need:
7 markers + 1 marker = 8 markers
Therefore, nate should give 1 marker to clara so that both have a complete set.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
48 - 8 +5.25-6 = 39.25
b 48 -8 + 21 = 61
c 240+5.25-6= 239.25
d 48 -50/8 - 6 = 35.75
Answer:
x = 2
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
-3(x - 1) = x - 5
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute -3: -3x + 3 = x - 5
- Add 3x to both sides: 3 = 4x - 5
- Add 5 to both sides: 8 = 4x
- Divide 4 on both sides: 2 = x
- Rewrite: x = 2
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: -3(2 - 1) = 2 - 5
- Subtract: -3(1) = -3
- Multiply: -3 = -3
Here we see that -3 does indeed equal -3.
∴ x = 2 is a solution of the equation.
