1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.
2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.
Answer: y=3x+500 and y=2x+400

Answer: Usually the formula for the volume of a prism is V=b(h)—> In words, Volume equals base times height. This means the height 10 would replace h. —> V=b(10). Next we want to find the B in the forumla. If you notice the question says that the base is 24 square centimeters. So our new formula is V=24(10). So option C, V=24x10 is the correct answer.
Answer:
1. 8/3
2. 1/7
3. 1/12
4. 1/27
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 3/8 * m = 1
Multiply by 8/3
8/3 * 3/8 m = 1* 8/3
m = 8/3
2. 7 * m = 1
Divide by 7
7*m /7 = 1/7
m = 1/7
3. 3 ÷m = 36
Multiply by m
3 ÷m * m = 36*m
3 = 36*m
Divide by 36
3/36 = 36*m/26
1/12 = m
4. 4/9 ÷m = 12
Multiply by m
4/9 ÷m * m = 12*m
4/9 = 12*m
Multiply by 1/12
4/9 *1/12 = 12*m * 1/12
4/12 *1/9 = m
1/3*1/9 =m
1/27
