Omar can make 14 whole dumplings. You change 2 3/4 cups to an improper fraction ( multiply the denominator and add the numerator ) and you get 11/4. Since you need 3/16 cups for one dumpling you have to find the greatest common denominator which is 16. You multiply 4 by 11 to get the numerator and end up with 44/16. Since you need 3/16 for one whole dumping you divide 44 by 3 and get 14.6 repeating. You cannot have a fraction of a dumpling so you round down and get the answer 14.
5x + 9 = x - 23
move x to the other side
sign changes from +x to -x
5x-x+9= x-x-23 ( combine like terms)
5x-x+9= -23
4x+9= -23
move -9 to the other side
4x+9-9= -23-9
4x= -23-9
4x= -32
divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself
4x/4= -32/4
answer:
x= -8
USING PYTHAGORAS THEORAM,
x²+3²= 5²
x²+9= 25
x²= 25-9 = 16
x= √16
x= 4
