Answer:
9/4:3/8=9/4×8/3=72/12=24/4=6/1=6
Answer:
2x - 0.4x ;
8x/5 ;
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of miles = x
Arlene:
Double number of miles = 2 * x = 2x
Subtract 20% of the result :
2x - 20% of 2x ;
2x - 0.4x
Raul:
Divides Number of miles by 5 ; x / 5
Multiplies result by 8 ;
8 * (x/5) = 8x /5
To know if expressions are equivalent :
Let x = 10 miles
Using Arlene's expression:
2x - 0.4x
x = 10
2(10) - 0.4(10) = 16
Using Raul's expression :
8x / 5
(8*10) / 5
80/5
= 16
Since they give the same result, we can conclude that the expression are equivalent
X/a=0.5
y/a=0.5
X+y/a
a=2
X=1
y=1
x+y=a(1)
1+y=2(1)
y=2-1
y=1
It’s -9 because when multiplied it’s about -9
