Answer:
(1/2)s = 345
s = 690 (Maggie's savings balance)
Step-by-step explanation:
For any problem, word problem or otherwise, you start be reading and understanding the problem. You should specifically look for
- what you're being asked to find (what is the question to answer)
- the information you're given that is relevant to the question asked.
Here, you're asked to find a savings account balance. You're told that $345 is half that amount.
__
After you decide what you're looking for and the given relevant information, you use the problem statement and your personal knowledge to write one or more equations relating what you know to what you want to find.
A first step for doing this is to define any necessary variables. In this problem, we can use "s" for the original savings balance (in dollars). (I like to choose letters that remind me what they stand for. "x" or "y" can sometimes get mixed up. For a one-variable problem, it doesn't really matter what you call it. It is helpful to be clear about the units of measure of any variables. Confusion there can also lead to errors.)
The problem statement tells us that half the savings account amount is $345, so our equation is ...
(1/2)s = 345
__
The "one step" required to solve this so to multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
s = 690
Maggie had $690 in her savings account before she bought the computer.
Answer:
<em> There are 7 bales of 100 pounds and 8 bales of 150 pounds hale</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of bale of 100 pounds be x and the bale of hale of 150pounds be y
If fifteen bales of hale were loaded into a truck, then x+y = 15 ... 1
Also if some of the bales weight 150 pounds, and some weighed 100 pounds with total weight of pounds to be 1900 pounds, then mathematically;
150y + 100x = 1900
Dividing through by 100;
1.5y+x = 19 ..... 2
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously;
x+y = 15 ... 1
1.5y+x = 19 .... 2
Subtracting 1 from 2
y-1.5y = 15-19
-0.5y = -4
Divide both sides by 0.5
-0.5y/-0.5 = -4/-0.5
y = 8
Substituting y = 8 into equation 1, we will have;
x+y = 15
x+8 = 15
x = 15-8
x = 7
<em>Hence there are 7 bales of 100 pounds and 8 bales of 150 pounds hale</em>

Convert to a fraction by placing the decimal number over a power of 10 answer is 7/20

Answer: 1st one</h2>
two-base angle are equal
let take a base angle as x
<h3>2x + 98 = 180</h3><h3>2x = 180 - 98</h3><h3>x = 2/2</h3><h3>x = 1</h3>
