Given:
3 teaspoons of salt for every 5 cups of flour.
How much salt is needed for 15 cups of flour?
This is a proportion problem:
a/b = c/d where ad = bc
3/5 = x/15
3*15 = 5x
45 = 5x
45/5 = x
9 = x
C. 9 teaspoons of salt is needed for 15 cups of flour.
3/5 = 9/15
3*15 = 5*9
45 = 45
|x+y| = |-8+(-13)| = |-8-13| = |-21| = 21
Answer:
x = 14 D
Step-by-step explanation:
(18x + 36) / 3 = 6x + 12
6x + 12 = -16 + 8x
-6x . -6x
12 = -16 + 2x
+16 . +16
28 = 2x
/2 . /2
14 = x
