Answer:

There were 48 ounces of milk left

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Lessils used 25% of half a gallon of milk

→ Assume that the total amount of the milk is 25%

∴ The amount of milk left = 100% - 25% = 75%

∵ Half gallon = 64 ounces

→ That means the amount of milk left is 75% of 64 ounces

∴ The amount of milk left = 75% × 64

→ Divide 75% by 100 to change it to decimal

∵ 75% = 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75

∴ The amount of milk left = 0.75 × 64

∴ The amount of milk left = 48 ounces

∴ There were 48 ounces of milk left

Justify each step in solving the equation -3(2x-3)=25-8x by writing a reason for each statement.

Mice21 [21]

Answer: x= 8.

Step-by-step explanation: Given equation -3(2x-3)=25-8x.

Step 1: We have -3 in front of (2x-3). We always simplify a parenthesis first.

Therefore, applying Distributive property in first step, we get

-6x +9 = 25-8x.

Step 2: We need to get rid 9 from left side to get constant numbers on right side.

9 is being added on left side.

So, we would apply reverse operation of addition.

Therefore, applying Subtraction property of equality, we get

-6x +9-9 = 25-8x-9

-6x =16 -8x.

Step 3: We need to get rid 8x from right side.

The reverse operation of subtraction is addition.

Therefore, applying Addition property of equality, we get

-6x+8x =16 -8x+8x

2x = 16.

Step 4: We need to isolate it for x.

So, applying Division property of equality, we get

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{16}{2}$

How can you tell if a point is a solution to a system of equations?

Anna35 [415]

Answer: you have to substitute them into the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

example: x = 2y - 6

lets say you test 4/5 so it would be 4 = 2(5) - 6

this equals 4 = 10 - 6 which is true

so that is how you test to see if the equation is right

remember the first number goes to "x" and the second one goes to y

hope this helps mark me brainliest if you can
