Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given equation, the "like terms" are the constants 5/8 and 44.

It simplifies the math if we eliminate the fractions first.  Note that 0.75 = 6/8, so now we have:

8(6/8)s - 8(5/8) = 44).

Multiplying all three terms by 8 (above) yields

8(6s) - 8(5) = 8(44), or

48s              = 8(44 + 5), or 48s = 8(49)

Dividing both sides by 48 yields s:   s = 8(49/48)

Review "like terms:"  These are terms that have at least one characteristic in common.  5/8 and 44 are like terms because they are only constants (no variables are present).  We must add 5/8 and 44.   0.75s does not have a "like term" in the given equation.

The fraction computed shows that the cups of sugar that can be used based on the flour will be B. 4 1/2 cups.

<h3>How to calculate the fraction?</h3>

From the information, Jonah used 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar and 2 1/3 cups for flour.

Therefore, the cups of sugar needed will be:

= 1.5/2.33 × 7

= 4.5 = 4 1/2.

The length of 2 sides of a triangle are 12 inches and 4 inches. Which is the third side?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Let x = the third side

 

In a triangle, the sum of any 2 sides must be larger than the third side.

I believe this is called the triangle inequality theorem.

 

We can construct 3 inequalities to obtain the range of values for the third side.

 

  (Inequality #1)   12 + 4 > x

                                  16 > x

 

  (Inequality#2)    12 + x > 4

                                    x > -8   (we can discard this ... we know all sides will be positive)

 

  (Inequality #3)   4 + x > 12

                                   x > 8

 

So when we combine these together,  

 

   8 < x < 16

 

X (the third side) must be a number between 8 and 16. but not including 8 and 16
