x in terms of b:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx + 10 = 16
-2bx = 6
x = 6 / -2b
x = -3/b
--------------------------------
when b = 3 then
-2(3x - 5) = 16
-6x + 10 = 16
-6x = 6
x = -1
Answer
The value of x in terms of b is -3/b
The value of x when b is 3 is -1
Answer:
y=81
Step-by-step explanation:
x=9 and y=81
y-70=11 (add 70 onto 11)
y=81
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of footballs he can order
22*x + 13 (shipping fee) = 277
22x = 264 Subtract 13 from both sides
x = 16 Divide both sides by 22
Our solution is 16 footballs
Answer: 20 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the weight of each flower arrangement (each one weighs 6 2/3 pounds) and the total number of flower arrangaments Isabelle ordered (3 flower arrangements).
To make the calculus easier, we can rewrite the mixed number 6 2/3 as a decimal number:
Divide the numerator 2 by the denominator 3 and add the result to the whole number 6:

If 1 arrangement weighs 6.666 pounds, the total weigth of 3 arrangements can be calculated by multiplying 6.666 pounds by 3:

1:2
Similar to the 1/2 fraction, 1:2 is a simplified ratio of a half.
