I think I just had a stroke trying to read this
Step-by-step explanation:
question number 2 first part X + 2 is equal to 7 .. x is equal to 7 - 2x is equal to 5 ..second part 3 x minus 1 is equal to 3 x is equal to 23 - 1 = 3x=24 x=24÷3=x=8ans
−3b+2.5=4
Subtract 2.5 from both sides.
−3b+2.5−2.5=4−2.5
−3b=1.5
Divide both sides by -3.
−3b/−3 = 1.5/−3
b=−0.5
2 bags
7 apples
A) Instead of a lets say:
a = 1, 2 , 3
If a =1 then, (you already know there are 2 bags) you have 1 apple in each bag, making total of 2 apples
If a =2 then you are having 2 apples in each bag making total of 4 apples
If a =3, 3 apples in each bag, making total of 6 apples
Conclusion:
2 * 1 = 2
2 * 2 = 4
2 * 3 = 6
See the difference & pattern here
Now lets do with a
2 * a = 2a
B) If a = 6
then, 2*6 = 12
lets continue from a =3
2*4=8
2*5=10
2*6=12
See the pattern again
Tip: Drawing making problem understand better.
