As with any "solve for ..." problem, you start by looking at the operations performed on the variable of interest. Here, when you evaluate this expression according to the order of operations, you
- add b1
- multiply by (h/2)
When you want to solve for b2, you undo these operations in reverse order. To undo multiplication by a fraction, you multiply by the inverse (reciprocal) of the fraction. To undo addition, you add the opposite.
Whatever you do must be done to both sides of the equation.
Here we go ...
... (2/h)A = b1 + b2 . . . . . we undid the multiply by h/2, by multiplying by 2/h
... (2/h)A - b1 = b2 . . . . . we undid the addition of b1 by adding the opposite of b1
Then your solution is
... b2 = 2A/h - b1
If you want to, you can combine these terms over a single denominator to get
... b2 = (2A -h·b1)/h
It's increasing cause it's going higher if it's decreasing it's going lower
Answer:
1/8 of the number of students
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 + 1/3 + 1/8 + 1/6 =
= 6/24 + 8/24 + 3/24 + 4/24
= 21/24
= 7/8
7/8 of the class chose drinks.
1 - 7/8 = 8/8 - 7/8 = 1/8
That means that 1/8 did not have a drink.
Since we don't know the number of students in her class, we cannot tell the number of students who did not have a drink, but we do know it is 1/8 of the number of students.
Answer:
77
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's let the unknown number be x.
Supplementary angles add up to a total of 180 degrees. Since we already know one angle is 103, this means that:
Subtract 103 from both sides:
So, the measure of its supplementary angle is 77 degrees.
And we are done!
