Answer:

$p = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5p - 8(6p - 5) = p - 4$

$- 43p - 40 = p - 4$

$- 43p - p = - 40 - 4$

$- 44p = - 44$

$p = 1$

The sum of 12 and a certain number is equal to the product of 3 and the number

german

Answer:

Read the explanation!

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the "certain number" be </em> $x$ <em>. </em>

( $*$ is a symbol for multiplication).

<em>Create a few equations and expressions:</em>

The sum of 12 and a certain number: $12 + x$

The product of 3 and the number: $3 *x = 3x$

The sum of 12 and a certain number is equal to the product of 3 and the number:

$12 + x$ = $3x$

Solve!

12=3x-x

12=2x

x=6

Greta is trying to determine the portion of green candies in various bags of green and yellow candies. Using the information bel

IrinaK [193]

Answer: a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There are green and yellow candies in each bag.

Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Part of yellow candies in bag A = $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Part of green candies in bag A would be

$1-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3-2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Bag B: 29 % of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Percentage of candies are yellow = 29%

Portion of candies are green is given by

$1-\dfrac{29}{100}\\\\=1-0.29\\\\=0.71\\\\=\dfrac{71}{100}$

Bag C: 4 out of every 9 candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Portion of yellow candies = $\dfrac{4}{9}$

Portion of green candies would be

$1-\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{9-4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{9}$

Hence, a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

Find the slope of the line graphed below

igomit [66]

We are given two points: (-1, -1) and (1, -4). Slope is calculated as the change in y over the change in x, or rise over run.

The change in y is the difference of the two y coordinates (it doesn't matter the order): -1 - (-4) = 3

The change in x is the difference of the two x coordinates (this order depends on the order that you subtracted the y coordinates; they must be the same order): -1 - 1 = -2.

So, the slope is 3/-2
