Let's set up an equation.
so we know the answer is -13.
1/3 of a number (our variable) can be written as 1/3n.
8 less than that would be subtracting 1/3n by 8
so we have -13 = 1/3n - 8.
To solve:
Add 8 to both sides: -5 = 1/3n
Multiply both sides by 3 (to cancel fraction): -15 = n
You can check by plugging -15 into the equation we made.
Answer:
Its B
Step-by-step explanation:
30×10=300
300×.4= 120
120÷3=60
Answer:
X = 1 - (1/4) - 2 * (1/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation to be raised must take into account what is painted on Monday and Tuesday. First consider the wall as a unit, that is to say painting the entire wall (100%) is equivalent to 1. Therefore the equation would be the following:
Let X be the unpainted part:
<em>X = 1 - (1/4) - 2 * (1/4)
</em>
X = 1 - (1/4) - (1/2)
Now, if we solve this, we have that 0.25, therefore 25% or 1/4 is left to be painted on the wall.
The area is 144. Because if it’s a square all sides are equal
