Answer: 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pool in the drawing be represented by x.

Since scale drawing of a pool has scale of 1 in :4 ft and the actual pool is 16 ft wide, this can be represented in an equation as:

1/4 = x/16

Cross multiply

4 × x = 1 × 16

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

Therefore, the pool representation in the drawing is 4 inches

5b - 5 - 126 - 7<br> I need steps please and thank you

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

5b - 138

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright let's break it down.

First, you can see that each constant (5,126,7) have negatives in front of them. SO you are going to subtract each one of them.

When subtracting negatives it's basically just adding them together. How to do it is simply adding:

5 + 126 + 7

Then you get 138.

BUT, it was negative numbers. So it's actually -138.

Then bring back the 5b and your answer is:

5b - 138

Mark brainliest if you can :D

Erick, Mia, and Isabelle golfed 9 holes. Erick scored 10 more than Mia, and Isabelle scored 16 less than twice Mia's score. Use

Rama09 [41]

Let Mia's score be $x$ . Then, Erick scored 10 more than Mia, so his score is $x+10$ . Isabelle scored 16 less than twice Mia's score, so her score is $2x-16$ . We can see that $x + x + 10 + 2x - 16$ is the sum of these variables, so the expression represents the total of their scores in this scenario. Moreover, we recall that the variable in the expression, $x$ , represents Mia's score.

To simplify this expression, we add up the variables and the numbers separately, giving us $x+x+10+2x-16 = (x+x+2x) + (10-16) = 4x-6$ . Therefore, in simplified form, the expression is equal to 4x - 6. The constant term in an expression is the term not multiplied by a variable, so in this case, it is -6.
