Answer: 5p - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Brendan has six less than five times the number of pencils that Riley has.

P = the number of pencils Riley has.

The algebraic expression that represents the number of pencils Brendan has in terms of p, the number of pencils that Riley has would be:

= (5 × p) - 6

= 5p - 6

For example, if Riley has 5 pencils, the number of pencils that Brendan would have would be:

= 5p - 6.

= 5(5) - 6

= 25 - 6

= 19 pencils

likoan [24]

Answer:

You didn't include any image here, but numerically, the amount of paper consumed this month is 125% compared to last month.

If last month's consumption is represented by 4 equal shapes, then the current month's consumption will be 5 shapes.  

If last month's consumption is represented by 8 equal shapes, then the current month's consumption will be 10 shapes.  

this pattern keeps repeating.

Question 10 (1 point) Solve for x. 1/2+x/6=4/3
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The value of x for the given expression is 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression as

\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{4}{3}

Now, arrange the equation

So, \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{4}{3} - \dfrac{1}{2}

<u>Taking L.C.M on right hand side </u>

Or,  \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{8 -3}{6}

Or,  \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{5}{6}

Or, x = \frac{5\times 6}{6}

∴  x = 5

So, The value of x = 5

Hence,The value of x for the given expression is 5 . Answer
