Answer: Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Substitute 1 for x
2. 6 times 1 is 6 plus 2 is 8
3.8 is equal to or greater than 8
So 16=heads
18=tails
after you add some tails
18+x
ratio of heads to tails is 1:1.5
heads=16, didn't change
tails=18+x
so
1:1.5=16:18+x
fractionify
1/1.5=16/(18+x)
1/1.5=2/3
2/3=16/(18+x)
mutiply both sides by (3)(18+x)
2(18+x)=3(16)
36+2x=48
subtract 36 from both sides
2x=12
divide 2
x=6
6 tails added
total=heads+tails
heads=16
tails=18+6=24
total=16+24
total=40
6 tails added
40 total coins
Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 4x + 1 = 8x - 51
2. 4x = 8x - 52
3. -4x = -52
4. x = 13
A - 3b = 4
a = b -2
(b - 2) - 3b = 4
b - 2 - 3b = 4
-2b = 4 + 2
-2b = 6
b = 6/-2
b = -3
a = b - 2
a = -3 -2
a = -5
to check: a = -5 ; b = -3 ⇒ (-5,-3)
a - 3b = 4
-5 - 3(-3) = 4
-5 + 9 = 4
4 = 4
