Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First it base times height times (1/2)
The base is 7 boxes
The height is 5 boxes
A=(7)(5)(1/2)
A=(35)(1/2)
A=17.5
Answer:
5. 5/8 flour needed to make 5 dozen cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
2 dozen= 24
5 dozen=60
It takes 1 1/8 flour for 1 dozen cookies so 1 1/8 x 5= 5.625 in fraction form that= 5 5/8
Answer:
We start with the equation:
A: 3*(x + 2) = 18
And we want to construct equation B:
B: X + 2 = 18
where I suppose that X is different than x.
Because in both equations the right side is the same thing, then the left side also should be the same thing, this means that:
3*(x + 2) = X + 2
Now we can isolate the variable x.
(x + 2) = (X + 2)/3
x = (X + 2)/3 - 2
Then we need to replace x by (X + 2)/3 - 2 in equation A, and we will get equation B.
Let's do it:
A: 3*(x + 2) = 18
Now we can replace x by = (X + 2)/3 - 2
3*( (X + 2)/3 - 2 + 2) = 18
3*( (X + 2)/3 ) = 18
3*(X + 2)/3 = 18
(X + 2) = 18
Which is equation B.
