Answer:

x = 8/5 or 1.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 1 = 6x - 9

The general idea is to get the x terms on one side and the numbers on the other:

First add 1 to both sides of the equation:

x - 1 + 1 = 6x - 9 + 1

We perform the same operation on both sides to maintain the balance of the equation.

x = 6x - 8

Now subtract 6x from both sides:

x - 6x = 6x - 6x - 8

-5x = -8

Now divide both sides by -5:

x = -8/-5

x = 8/5.

Answer:

x = 8/5 or 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The bold marks indicate the steps done.

x - 1 = 6x - 9

- 1 = 6x - x - 9

-1 = 5x - 9

-1 + 9 = 5x

8 = 5x

8/5 = x

Round 8.876 to the nearest whole number

8.876 to the nearest whole number
8.876 can be rounded to 9 because if we have a number greater than 5 we round to next number i.e is 9 but if we have a number smaller than 5 then we round to the previous number that is 8.

So your answer is 9

PLEASE HELP!!! Use addition to solve the linear system of equations. Include all of your work in your final answer. 2x + y = 5,
Arturiano [62]
I: 2x+y=5
II:3x+2y=4

start by eliminating y

-2*I: -4x-2y=-10
II: 3x+2y=4

add both equations together

-2*I+II: -4x-2y+3x+2y=-10+4
-1x=-6
x=6

insert x=6 into I:
2*6+y=5
y=5-12
y=-7

so the solution is x=6, y=-7

Answer:

g(x) = 1/4 f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

f passes through the origin and has a slope of 1.

f(x) = x

g passes through the origin and has a slope of 1/4.

g(x) = 1/4 x

Substituting:

g(x) = 1/4 f(x)

Mariel brought 48 brownies to school for a class party. The class ate 5/6 of the brownies, and Mariel brought the rest home. How
Likurg_2 [28]

The number of brownies Mariel brought home is 8

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Total number of brownies, n = 48

Class ate = \frac{5}{6} X 48

               = 40

Mariel brought rest of the brownies home.

So, the number of brownies Mariel brought home = 48 - 40

                                                                              = 8
