9/8 is in the simplest form
There are 8 pints in 1 gallon
So
In 4 gallons there are 32 pints
You have to isolate x. First you start off by adding the like terms which is -3x and -x. By adding them you get -4x.
8 - 4x = 12
Then you subtract 8 on both sides since it is positive to isolate x.
-4x = 4
Then you divide -4 by both sides and get x=4/-4
4/-4 is simplified to -1 so the answer is x= -1
Answer:
(4, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point of interest is ...
P = (2Z +1Y)/(2+1) = ((2·3+6)/3, (2·9+3)/3)
P = (4, 7)

The point that divides the segment into the ratio a:b is the weighted average of the endpoints, with the weights being "b" and "a". The weight of the first end point corresponds to the length of the far end of the segment.
Isolate the variable x.
1-2x=-x-3
1=x-3
x=4
