6j + 1/3n = 134...multiply by 3....18j + n = 402
1/3j + n = 31....multiply by 3....j + 3n = 93
the multiplying by 3 is optional...I just did it because it is easier to work with equations when there are no fractions.
18j + n = 402....multiply by -3
j + 3n = 93
----------------
-54j - 3n = - 1206 (result of multiplying by -3)
j + 3n = 93
----------------add
-53j = - 1113
j = -1113/-53
j = 21
j + 3n = 93
21 + 3n = 93
3n = 93 - 21
3n = 72
n = 72/3
n = 24
so Jasons collection (j) consists of 21 books and Nathans collection (n) consists of 24 books
Answer: 11.4
Step-by-step explanation:
I did part / whole = % / 100
So x / 76 = 15 / 100
76 x 15 = 1140
1140 ÷ 100 = 11.4
Answer:
r = 4
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Alg</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
-5 + 22 = r - 4 + 3r + 5
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>r</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 17 = 4r + 1
- Subtract 1 on both sides: 16 = 4r
- Divide 4 on both sides: 4 = r
- Rewrite: r = 4
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in r to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: -5 + 22 = 4 - 4 + 3(4) + 5
- Add/Subtract: 17 = 3(4) + 5
- Multiply: 17 = 12 + 5
- Add: 17 = 17
Answer:
1:2
Step-by-step 1:2explanation:
it doesnt say anything about colors. so how many dots? how many stripes? 2 and 4. Ratio: 2:4. Ratios can be fractions: 2/4. What does 2/4 simplify to? 1/2 That means for every 1 dot rectangle there are 2 stripe rectangle. Ratio : 1:2 or 1 to 2 or 1/2
