Omar can make 14 whole dumplings. You change 2 3/4 cups to an improper fraction ( multiply the denominator and add the numerator ) and you get 11/4. Since you need 3/16 cups for one dumpling you have to find the greatest common denominator which is 16. You multiply 4 by 11 to get the numerator and end up with 44/16. Since you need 3/16 for one whole dumping you divide 44 by 3 and get 14.6 repeating. You cannot have a fraction of a dumpling so you round down and get the answer 14.
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x−7=15+3x
x+−7=15+3x
x−7=3x+15
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
x−7−3x=3x+15−3x
−2x−7=15
Step 3: Add 7 to both sides.
−2x−7+7=15+7
−2x=22
Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.
−2x/−2=22/−2
x=−11
True because its true when you think about it its really true so when its true it makes the answer true
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of baseballs
y: total amount
We know that each baseball costs $ m.
We also know that Robert has spent $ b.
Therefore, the expression that models the problem is given by:
Answer:
The following expression represents the total amount Robert will spend after buying x baseballs:
Basically, ur just solving for y
6x + 4y = 8...subtract 6x from both sides
4y = -6x + 8....now divide both sides by 4
y = (-6/4)x + 8/4...reduce
y = -3/2x + 2 <=== slope intercept form
