Answer:
See below.
If the correct sum is 1155, then Ken had 495 stamps, and Henry had 660 stamps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Henry had h stamps.
Ken had k stamps.
After giving away 2/3 of his stamps, Henry ended up with 1/3 of his stamps, or h/3.
After giving away 3/4 of his stamps, ken ended up with 1/4 of his stamps, or k/4.
h/3 = k/4
h + k = 1156
4h = 3k
h = 1156 - k
4(1156 - k) = 3k
4624 - 4k = 3k
4624 = 7k
k = 4624/7
Stamps left: 0.25 × 4624/7 = 1156/7
h = 1156 - k
h = 1156 - 4624/7
h = 8092/7 - 4624/7
h = 3468/7 =495.43
Stamps left: 1/3 × 3468/7 = 1156/7
Total number of stamps left: 1156/7 + 1156/7 = 2312/7 = 330.29
The problem is solved correctly, but the numbers given must be incorrect since you cannot have a fraction of a stamp.
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
First, set the equation equal to one and the x's to 2
Then, solve the parts without variables
4(2)+a(2)+6(2)-5=1
8+a(2)+6(2)-5=1
8+a(2)+12-5=1
Then add like terms
8+a(2)+7=1
15+a(2)=1
Then subtract 15 from both sides
a(2)=-14
Finally, divide by two on both sides
a=-7
Answer:
An expression that is equal to 3/5 is 3÷5.
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5 is really 3 things are being split amongst 5 things/groups. When you split things .up, it's division. Therefore, the expression would be 3÷5
There are four parallel lines. Parallel means there is something going the same direction as it but somewhere else in the shape. If you look at the shape there is four different lines going in the same direction as four others :) (all different directions, though!)
