Here's what I mean when I write <em>x/</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>JUST </em><em>IN </em><em>CASE.</em>

а.

Let the total number of pencils be x, then this implies that Maggie received <em>x/</em>2 pencils from Katie. Maggie keeps 5 and give the rest to Jamil, this means

that Jamil receives

<em>x/</em>2-5 pencils.

b. Expression of pencils given to Jamil is: <em>x/</em>2-5

Substitute <em>x</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>6</em><em> </em>in this expression: <em>x/</em>2-5

Simplify and evaluate: = 8-5= 3

Maggie gives 3 pencils to Jamil.

c. Expression of pencils given to Jamil is: x/2-5 to

Equate this expression with 1 to form an equation and solve for <em>x</em> all, the total

number of pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil:

<em>x/</em>2 - 5 = 1

Solve for x:

<em>x</em> = 2(1+ 5)

Evaluate:

<em>x</em> = 2(6) = 12

Katie had 12 pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil.

RESULT

a. Expression of number of pencils given to Jamil is <em>x</em>/2-5, where x is total number of pencils.

b. Maggie gives 3 pencils to Jamil.

c. Katie had 12 pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil.

I=prt,for p please show step by step for this variable
Bond [772]

Answer:

p = \dfrac{I}{rt}

Step-by-step explanation:

I = prt

Switch sides.

prt = I

We are solving for p. We want p alone on the left side. p is being multiplied by r and t, so we divide both sides by r and t.

\dfrac{prt}{rt} = \dfrac{I}{rt}

p = \dfrac{I}{rt}
