Answer: Distributive Property, follow PEMDAS (the first is parenthesis)

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Distribute 2 into (x-3). 15 - x = 2x + 6.
  2. Add x on both sides. 15 = 3x + 6.
  3. Subtract 6 on both sides. 9 = 3x.
  4. Divide 3 on both sides. x = 3

A class of 20 boys and 15 girls is divided into n groups so that each group has x boys and y girls. Find x, y and n. what values
melamori03 [73]
20 = 2 x 2 x 5
15 = 3 x 5

common divisor (CD) of 20 and 15 is 5 so n should be 5 and each group has 4 boys and 3 girls.

If there are more than one CD, then there are more than one answer.

If they ask for the largest number of groups, greatest common divisor (GCD) will be the answer.

Nicole used 3/8 of her ribbon to wrap the present. If she used 6 feet of ribbon for the present how much ribbon did Nicole have
lilavasa [31]
You would set up a proportion. 3/8 = 6/x... cross multiply ( 3*x = 3x and 6*8 = 48)  3x = 48... divide both sides by 3 (3x/3 = x and 48/3 = 16)

So, she originally had 16 feet of ribbon.

A student says that 2 1/4 + 1 2/4 =5. Why is that answer wrong?
saw5 [17]
2 1/4 + 1 2/4 ≠ 5

Why?

2 1/4 + 1 2/4 
=3 3/4

The answer is wrong because the student added wrong. The real answer is 3 3/4.
