Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute -3 into (x-5)

-3x+15+4x=24

then combine like terms

x+15=24

isolate the variable and subtract 15 from both sides

x=9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(x-5)+4x=24

Multiply the -3 with the stuff in the ( ) and you get -3x+15 since a negative and a negative equal a positive the 15 is positive so now you have -3x+15+4x =24 now you add like terms and you have 1x+15=24 then -15 from both sides so 15-(-15) cancels out then 24-15=9 then you have 1x=9 divide the 1x end the answer is x=9

Melanie has a piece of cloth 12 and 1/3 yards long. How many 3/4 yard-long pieces can be cut from the cloth?

Harrizon [31]

This is a division problem. First, get 12 1/3 into fraction form instead of mixed number form to make your life easier;
$12 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{36}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{37}{3} 
$
Now, divide the two fractions. Since this is fraction division, the reciprocal is flipped and the two fractions multiplied.
$\frac{37}{3} * \frac{4}{3} = \frac{148}{9} = 16 \frac{4}{9} 
$
The answer from the fraction division is 16 and four-ninths, but because you need a whole number as an answer,
the answer is 16 pieces.

The volume of a box(V) varies directly with its length(l). Using k for the constant of proportionality, express the relationship

pochemuha

Answer: V = L (k)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

Volume of a box = V
Length = l
Constant of proportionality = k

We know that the volume of the box (V) varies directly with its length (l).

So, the expression for the volume is:

V = L (k)
