Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3/8=-0.375

-1/4=-0.25

the negatives cancel each other out so it is 0.375/0.25

.25 goes into .375 1.5 times, so the answer is 1.5

Have a good day!

A+b=180 A=-2x+115 B=-6x+169 What is the value of B?

natulia [17]

The answer is: " 91 " .
___________________________________________________
→ " B = 91 " .
__________________________________________________

Explanation:
__________________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________________
" A + B = 180 " ;

"A = -2x + 115 " ; ↔ A = 115 − 2x ;

"B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;
_____________________________________________________
METHOD 1)
_____________________________________________________
Solve for "x" ; and then plug the solved value for "x" into the expression given for "B" ; to solve for "B"
_____________________________________________________

(115 − 2x) + (169 − 6x) =

115 − 2x + 169 − 6x = ?

→ Combine the "like terms" ; as follows:

+ 115 + 169 = + 284 ;

− 2x − 6x = − 8x ;
_________________________________________________________
And rewrite as:

" − 8x + 284 " ;
_________________________________________________________
→ " - 8x + 284 = 180 " ;

Subtract: "284" from each side of the equation:

 → " - 8x + 284 − 284 = 180 − 284 " ;

to get:

→ " -8x = -104 ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "-8 " ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

→ -8x / -8 = -104/-8 ;

→ x = 13
__________________________________________________________
Now, to find the value of "B" :
__________________________________________________________
 "B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;

↔ B = 169 − 6x ;

= 169 − 6(13) ; ===========> Plug in our "solved value, "13", for "x" ;

= 169 − (78) ;

= 91 ;

 B = " 91 " .
__________________________________________________
The answer is: " 91 " .
____________________________________________________
→ " B = 91 " .
____________________________________________________
Now; let us check our answer:
____________________________________________________
→ A + B = 180 ;
____________________________________________________
Plug in our "solved answer" ; which is "91", for "B" ; as follows:
________________________________________________________

→ A + 91 = ? 180? ;

↔ A = ? 180 − 91 ? ;

→ A = ? -89 ? Yes!
________________________________________________________
→ " A = -2x + 115 " ; ↔ A = 115 − 2x ;

Plug in our solved value for "x"; which is: "13" ;

" A = 115 − 2x " ;

→ A = ? 115 − 2(13) ? ;

→ A = ? 115 − (26) ? ;

→ A = ? 29 ? Yes!
_________________________________________________
METHOD 2)
_________________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________________
" A + B = 180 " ;

"A = -2x + 115 " ; ↔ A = 115 − 2x ;

"B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;

→ Solve for the value of "B" :
_______________________________________________________
A + B = 180 ;

→ B = 180 − A ;

→ B = 180 − (115 − 2x) ;

→ B = 180 − 1(115 − 2x) ; ==========> {Note the "implied value of "1" } ;
__________________________________________________________
Note the "distributive property" of multiplication:__________________________________________________ a(b + c) = ab + ac ; AND:
a(b − c) = ab − ac .________________________________________________________
Let us examine the following part of the problem:
________________________________________________________
→ " − 1(115 − 2x) " ;
________________________________________________________

→ " − 1(115 − 2x) " = (-1 * 115) − (-1 * 2x) ;

= -115 − (-2x) ;

= -115 + 2x ;
________________________________________________________
So we can bring down the: " {"B = 180 " ...}" portion ;

→and rewrite:
_____________________________________________________

→ B = 180 − 115 + 2x ;

→ B = 65 + 2x ;
_____________________________________________________
Now; given: "B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x ;

→ " B = 169 − 6x = 65 + 2x " ;
______________________________________________________
→ " 169 − 6x = 65 + 2x "

Subtract "65" from each side of the equation; & Subtract "2x" from each side of the equation:

→ 169 − 6x − 65 − 2x = 65 + 2x − 65 − 2x ;

to get:

→ " - 8x + 104 = 0 " ;

Subtract "104" from each side of the equation:

→ " - 8x + 104 − 104 = 0 − 104 " ;

to get:

→ " - 8x = - 104 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "-8" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

→ -8x / -8 = -104 / -8 ;

to get:

→ x = 13 ;
______________________________________________________

Now, let us solve for: " B " ; → {for which this very question/problem asks!} ;

→ B = 65 + 2x ;

Plug in our solved value, " 13 ", for "x" ;

→ B = 65 + 2(13) ;

= 65 + (26) ;

→ B = " 91 " .
_______________________________________________________
Also, check our answer:
_______________________________________________________
Given: "B = - 6x + 169 " ; ↔ B = 169 − 6x = 91 ;

When "x = 13 " ; does: " B = 91 " ?

→ Plug in our "solved value" of " 13 " for "x" ;

→ to see if: "B = 91" ; (when "x = 13") ;

→ B = 169 − 6x ;

= 169 − 6(13) ;

= 169 − (78)______________________________________________________
→ B = " 91 " .

Solve for x: 3(x-5)+4x-2=4

zysi [14]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x−5)+4x−2=4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−5)+4x−2=4

(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+4x+−2=4(Distribute)

3x+−15+4x+−2=4

(3x+4x)+(−15+−2)=4(Combine Like Terms)

7x+−17=4

7x−17=4

Step 2: Add 17 to both sides.

7x−17+17=4+17

7x=21

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

x=3

A business is owned by 3 people. Mrs. Applegate owns

Bezzdna [24]

Given:

Mrs. Applegate owns $\dfrac{3}{19}$ of the business.

Mrs. Brown owns 3 times as much as Mrs. Charles.

To find:

The fractional part of the business that Mrs. Brown owns.

Solution:

Let Mrs. Charles owns x part of business.

Mrs. Brown owns 3 times as much as Mrs. Charles.

Mrs. Brown owns = 3x part of business.

Mrs. Applegate owns $=\dfrac{3}{19}$ of the business.

$x+3x+\dfrac{3}{19}=1$

$4x=1-\dfrac{3}{19}$

$4x=\dfrac{19-3}{19}$

$4x=\dfrac{16}{19}$

Divide both sides by 4.

$x=\dfrac{16}{4\times 19}$

$x=\dfrac{4}{19}$

Now,

Mrs. Brown owns $=3\times x$

$=3\times \dfrac{4}{19}$

$=\dfrac{12}{19}$

Therefore, Mrs. Brown owns $\dfrac{12}{19}$ of the business.

You have been saving $12 each week for many weeks. One day, you decide to count your savings and find that you have $384. Choose

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

D or the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly, you got me kinda confused. Is it saying that there is multiple equations to answer this? Well anyways, D would be the answer. When the variable (w) is beside the coefficient, it means you multiple them together. (W) standing for weeks multiplied by 12 which is how much you earn each week would get you the total amount. The rest just don't make sense.
