<h3>Given</h3>
P = 3r + 2s
<h3>Find</h3>
the corresponding equation for s
<h3>Solution</h3>
First of all, look at how this is evaluated in terms of what happens to a value for s.
- s is multiplied by 2
- 3r is added to that product
To solve for s, you undo these operations in reverse order. The "undo" for addition is adding the opposite. The "undo" for multiplication is division (or multiplication by the reciprocal).
... P = 3r + 2s . . . . . . starting equation
... P - 3r = 2s . . . . . . -3r is added to both sides to undo addition of 3r
... (P -3r)/2 = s . . . . . both sides are divided by 2 to undo the multiplication
Note that the division is of everything on both sides of the equation. That is why we need to add parentheses around the expression that was on the left—so the whole thing gets divided by 2.
Your solution is ...
... s = (P - 3r)/2
Answer:
We can make around 7 loaves of bread with 37 cups of flour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 5 cups of flour to bake a loaf of bread.
i.e.
5 cups of flour = 1 loaf of bread
Thus,
37 cups of flour can be determined by dividing 37 by 5.
37/5 = 7.4
= 7 loaves of bread (rounding to the whole number)
Therefore, we can make around 7 loaves of bread with 37 cups of flour.
Answer:
Infinitely many solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's begin by carrying out the indicated multiplications, which must be done before any addition or subtraction:
2(8r+5)-3=4(4r-1)+11 becomes 16r + 10 - 3 = 16r - 4 + 11.
Subtracting 16r from both sides, we get 10 - 3 = - 4 + 11, or 7 = 7
This is always true, so we can conclude that this equation has infinitely many solutions.
