Answer:
There are 15 men in the dance recital.
Step-by-step explanation:
If 20 people is 4 parts, then 5 people are 1 part. Due to that, 15 people will equal 3 parts.
Hey!
This could be rewritten as:
2x + 1 + 5x
We can add like terms together:
7x + 1
Divide each term by U and simplify. X=y/U and W=2/U. Next, solve the equation for y. Simplify the left side then cancel the common factor of U. 1/1*y/1=y
W=2/U. Multiply 1/1*y/1=y/1 so, y/1=y and W=2/U. Next, divide y/y to get 1 now y=y, still W=2/U. Now, move all terms containing y to the left side. Since, Y contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left side of the equation by subtracting y from both sides. Now, y-y=0 still W=2/U. Next, subtract y from y to get zero and still W=2/U. Subtract y from y to get zero or 0=0 and W=2/U is your expression since 0=0.
Next: UW=m and WX=y+14 write expression for UX
First, divide each term by W and simplify. U=m/W, WX=y+14. Next, solve the equation for Y. Move y from the right side of the equation to the left side. Still, U=m/W and y=-14+WX. We must reorder -14 and WX. U=m/w and y=WX-14.
Replace the variable U with m/W in the expression to (m/W)X. Next, simplify (m/W)X. Now, write X and a fraction with denominator 1. Looks like this
fractions are side by side m/W X/1 . Multiply, m/W and X/1 to get mX/W.
mX/W is your final expression for UW=m and WX=y+14 expression for UX.
The question you asked uses the concept of division, something that a bit tricky at first but gets easier as you master it!
So first let’s write and equation for your problem:
Let x = the amount of calories she burns each hour.
So we already know that Vivi was drumming for 3 hours, that she burned 756 calories, and that she burned the same amount of calories each hour.
Since she burned 756 calories in total, we know that the equation will have to equal 756:
= 756
We also know that the answer will be 3(hours) times x(the amount of calories), so now we just plug it into the equation:
3x = 756
To find what ‘x’ equals we have to divide both side by 3:
3x/3 = 756/3
Now all we have to do is simplify and you have your answer!
x = 252
And there you have it, Vivi burned 25 calories per hour!
Hope this helps! :)
