Answer:
1.5y - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
I used the distributive approach and distributed -1/2 to the -3y and 10.
(If you try this and it's incorrect, you may just need to distribute -1/2 to the 10, creating -3y - 5.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A
No 24 is not the best number to use for the LCD, although it will work. 12 is much better because it is smaller.
B
Factor each number into it's primes.
24 =<u> 2*2*2</u>*3
32 = <u>2*2*2</u>*2*2
The highest common factor is 2*2*2 = 8
C
9/10 - 3/10 = 6/10 The denominator remains the same. The numerators get subtracted.
6/10 = 3/5 Two goes into both numerator and denominator of the answer. Therefore you can divide both 6 an 10 by 2
Answer:
B= 15 adults tickets
C= 35 student tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=50
solve for y
y=50-x
5x+3y=180
5x+3(50-x)=180
5x+150-3x=180
2x=30
x=15
y=50-15
y=35
Answer:
12 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she has $15 and books come in a pack of four for $5, we can divide her money by the cost to see how many she can get ($15/$5) which gets us 3. but we have to remember the books come in a pack of four so we must multiply 3x4=12 books.
So first convert to improper fractions
7 and 7/8=7+7/8=56/8+7/8=63/8
3 and 1/4=3+1/4=12/4+1/4=13/4
so nowe we have
63/8+13/4
convert bottom number to same
which is 8
13/4 times 2/2=26/8
now we have
63/8-26/8=37/8=4 and 5/8
answer is 4 and 5/8
