Answer: - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8 = -2

3x = -2 + 8

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

Answer:

x-6 = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8= -2

Add 8 to each side

3x - 8+8= -2+8

3x = 6

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 6/2

x =2

We want to find x-6

2-6 = -4

Donald has a bunch of nickels and dimes in his piggy bank. There are 100 coins in the bank that make a total of $6.60 in change.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

78 nickels and 22 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickels = n, Dimes = d

Number of coins = 100

n + d = 100

Total sum in the piggy bank = $6.60

5n + 10d = 660

Consider the first equation in the second:

5(100 -d) + 10d = 660
500 - 5d + 10d = 660
5d = 110
d = 110/5
d = 22
n = 100 - 22
n = 78

Answer: nickels 78 and dimes 22

Julian has to read 4 articles for school. He has 8 nights to read them. He decides to read the same number of articles each nigh

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a. He will have to read half an article per night

b. Fraction of the reading assignment read each night = $\frac{0.5}{4}=\frac{1}{8}$

Explanation:

Part a:

We are given that:

number of articles to read = 4 articles

number of nights = 8 nights

To get the number of articles that he should read per night, we will simply divide the the number of articles by the number of nights

Therefore:

number of articles to read per night = $\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$ articles per night

Part b:

Now, we know that he will read half an article each night from a total of 4 articles

To get the fraction of the reading assignment read each night, we will divide the number of articles read each night by the total number of assignments

Therefore:

Fraction of the reading assignment read each night = $\frac{0.5}{4}=\frac{1}{8}$

Hope this helps :)
