Answer:
The answer is d man .....
Answer:
$0.65
Step-by-step explanation:
x=cost of washcloth
x+1.20=cost of towel
Now,
x+x+1.20=2.50
2x=1.30
x=0.65
So, cost of washcloth is $0.65
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
Answer: What number, when added to negative four is equal to negative five.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearange the numbers to get -4+g=-5.
This eqation now reads -4 plus a number g is equal to -5, and can also be read as what number (g) added to -4 = -5.
If we were to solve for g we would get g= -1.
