Answer:
The variable is x.
The value of the variable is 9.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation shows the variable x multiplied by 3.5 with the result of that multiplication being 32.2. In order to solve for x, you must "undo" that multiplication.
The definitions of the multiplicative inverse and of the multiplication identity element tell you how to do that. The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal: the multiplicative inverse of 3.5 is 1/3.5. Multiplying a number by its multiplicative inverse gives a result of 1. Here, that means ...
3.5 × (1/3.5) = 1
The property of the multiplicative identity element (1) is that anything multiplied by that is just that thing:
x · 1 = x
So, to solve this equation, you multiply both sides by the multiplicative inverse of 3.5:
3.5x = 32.2
(1/3.5)(3.5)x = (1/3.5)(32)
1x = 9.2 . . . . . carry out the multiplication
x = 9.2 . . . . . . recognize 1x = x
___
You will recognize that multiplying by 1/3.5 is the same as dividing by 3.5. In other words, we solve this equation by dividing it by the coefficient of x.
Answer:
12/7 = 1 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 12 by 7 to get 1 with a remainder of 5 and take the denominator and put it under the remainder 5/7 the answer is 1 5/7
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
the first fish tank has 100 gallons of water and 1 gallon is removed every hour which makes 100-h
the second tank has 40 gallons in it and 2 gallons are added every hour which makes 40+2h
after 20 hours the second tank will have more gallons than the first tank
this means that 40+2h would be greater than 100-h since it's also asking you "After how many hours will the first tank have less water than the second?"
A) 6
b) x/f
c) 5/f
