The reciprocal of any number is the other number you must multiply it by to equal one. In this case it's 9/2
So 8x+4+4x+8=15x-9
Combine like terms.
12x+12=15x-9
Add 9 to both sides.
12x+21=15x
Subtract 12 from both sides.
21=3x
Divide both sides by 3.
x=7
Now plug in 7 for x in 8x+4.
8(7)+4
56+4
=60
1) 13a=-5
Make a the subject of the formula by dividing both sides by 13(the coefficient of a)
13a/13=-5/13
Therefore a= -0.385
The second one). 12-b= 12.5
You take the 12 to the other side making b subject of the formula (-b in this case)
-b= 12.5-12
-b= 0.5
(You cannot leave b with a negative sign so you will divide both sides by -1 to cancel out the negative sign)
-b/-1= 0.5/-1
Therefore b=-0.5
The third one). -0.1= -10c
You will divide both sides by the coefficient of c(number next to c) which is -10
-0.1/-10= -10c/-10
Hence, c= 0.01
Answer:
It b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 6 ways
b) 6 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
a) for all of the letters
for the first letter, we have 3 options
for the second, we have 2 options
for the third, we have 1 option
So the number of options will be;
3 * 2 * 1 = 6
b) for the first, we have 3 options, for the second, we have 2 options
so the number of options will be 3 * 2 = 6 options
