Answer:

4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken for them to have the same number of strawberries be x minutes.

<u>Initially</u>

Ruby: 10 strawberries

Sapphire: 30 strawberries

<u>After x minutes</u>

Ruby: (10 +3x) strawberries

Sapphire: (30 -2x) strawberries

Since we let x minutes be the amount of time that has passed when they have the same amount of strawberries,

10 +3x= 30 -2x

Bring all x terms to one side, constant to the other:

3x +2x= 30 -10

Simplify:

5x= 20

Divide both sides by 5:

x= 20 ÷5

x= 4

∴ It will take 4 minutes.

What is the value of y in the equation 4y – 2(1 – y) = –44?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find y, follow these steps:

4y - 2 (1 - y) = -44

First, distribute the -2 into the parenthesis:

4y - 2 + 2y = -44

The reason the 2y is positive is due to the fact that negative and negative cancel each other out and form a positive.

Now, combine like terms:

6y - 2 = -44

To get y, you need to isolate it from the constants. In order to do so, do the inverse relationship for the constant -2. To do this, add 2 to -44:

6y = -42

Now, divide six on both sides. You divide because six is currently being multiplied with y. Keep in mind that the 42 is still negative!

y = -7

Hope this helps!

Solve the equation <br> 14(3x-1)=2x-23
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

x=\frac{-9}{40} \\

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

           14(3x-1)=2x-23

Solving the bracket on L.H.S

        (14)(3x)-1(14)=2x-23

             42x-14=2x-23

Taking the terms of 'x' to one side and the constants to other side

                 42x-2x=-23+14\\\\40x=-9\\\\x=\frac{-9}{40} \\

The value of 'x' after solving the equation is:

                            x=\frac{-9}{40} \\
