There are 4 cups in a quart.
There are 12 cups in x quarts.
Solution
4/12 = 1 / x Cross multiply
4x = 12*1 Combine
4x = 12 Divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = 12/4
x = 3 quarts
Answer
3 quarts.
3x + 6y = -24
first you would start by subtracting 3x from both sides which would give you
6y = -3x - 24
then you divide everything by 6 and you’re left with
y = -1/2 - 4
First move +5 to to the other side.
-7x=-16-5
-7x=-21
Then after this devide both sides by negative seven.
X=3
Answer:
b = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply: 39(b) = (26)(9)
39b = 234
Divide both sides by 39
b = 6
Alright, we can turn the word problem at the beginning into an equation.
Let's represent oregano with "o" and peppercorns as "p".
o=p+17
Also, we know that the two added together are 253 pounds.
o+p=253
Since we know that o=p+17, let's substitute it into the second equation.
(p+17)+p=253
2p+17=253
-17 -17
2p=236
p=118
So, we have 118 pounds of peppercorns. (Although it's irrelevant to the second half of the equation, we also know we have 135 pounds of oregano)
Now, let's convert pounds to ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, multiply 118 by 16....
118*16=1888
So, you can make 1888 one-ounce bags of peppercorns.
