Answer:
1) x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) x + 7 + x + 11 = 14
2x + 18 = 14
2x = 14 - 18
2x = -4
x = -4/2 = -2
Answer:
1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips
Step-by-step explanation:
If Alana has 2 1/4 bags of chocolate chips that she wants to use in 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies, then we can say;
2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips
To determine how much of the chocolate chips will she use in each batch of cookies, we can say;
1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips
Equating both expressions
2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips
1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips
Cross multiply
2 1/4 x = 3
9/4 x = 3
9x/4 = 3
9x = 12
x = 12/9
x = 4/3
x = 1 1/3
Hence Alana will need 1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips
1/42
First, find the probability of Willie winning the grand prize. He has 1 ticket out of the 7 total tickets, so the probability is 1/7.
Now, find the probability of Emily winning the second prize. After the grand prize winner has been announced, there are only 6 tickets left. Emily has 1, so the probability is 1/6.
Finally, multiply the two probabilities together to find the probability that they will both happen together. To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. This leaves us with (1 * 1) / (7 * 6), which is easy to simplify to 1/42, which is the final probability.
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
5 - 3[ 2 + (-5)] 2 - 8
Subtract 5 from 2 to get −3.
5 - 3 (-3) × 2 - 8
Multiply 3 and −3 to get −9.
5 - (-9 × 2) - 8
Multiply −9 and 2 to get −18.
5 - (-18) - 8
The opposite of −18 is 18.
5 + 18 - 8
Add 5 and 18 to get 23.
23 - 8
Subtract 8 from 23 to get 15.
