Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to use ratios. If 5 of 12 members bought water, then x of 168 members will buy water.
70 members will buy bottled water.
To determine how much of the barrel is left to fill, you must subtract the amount of water already in it from the total mass of the bucket.
25.5 - 5.2 = 20.3 Litres
In order to the fill the entire barrel, Kelly must collect 20.3 Litres of water. You must then covert the measurement from litres to millilitres so that the bucket and barrel are measured in the same units.
20.3L = 20300mL
You must then divide the amount of space left by the mass of the bucket. This will determine the least number of buckets needed to fill the barrel.
20300 <span>÷ 800 = 25.375
That means the you would have to do a minimum on 25.375 buckets to fill the barrel, or 26.
Hope this helps :) </span>
Answer:
-4x-6x=-20=
x=2
-3(2x-3)=33=
x=-4
4x+3x+2x=180
x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x-6x=-20
-4+(-6)=-10x
-10x=20 (divide both by 10)
x=-2 (divide by -1 to get positive)
x=2
-3(2x-3)=33
-6x+9=33
-9 . -9
-6x=24 (divide both by -6)
x=-4 (divide by -1 to make positive)
4x+3x+2x=180
(combine like terms)
9x=180 (divide both sides by 9)
x=20
