1. 4b - 2 : the product of 4 and a number (b) decreased by 2
2. the sum of 15 and 4 times a number......15 + 4x
3. 8 fewer boys then girls...how many boys.......b = g - 8
4. It will be less then 1 because of the negative exponent....a negative exponent will mean the number is less then 1...I dont really know how else to explain it.
5. Doug is twice Anna's age...doug is 34 years old
I dont know the 5 step plan...but I am putting what I do know
d = doug's age
a = anna's age
d = 2a
d = 34
34 = 2a
34/2 = a
17 = a....so anna is 17
check..
d = 2a
d = 2(17)
d = 34 (correct)
Answer:
-71
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=-34
Step-by-step explanation:
isolate the variable by diving each side by the factors that don't contain a variable.
Answer:
a. x > 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
In either order, subtract the left-side constant and divide by the x-coefficient.
3x +2.4 > 3
3x > 0.6 . . . . . . subtract 2.4
x > 0.2 . . . . . . . divide by 3
__
or
x + 0.8 > 1 . . . . divide by 3
x > 0.2 . . . . . . . subtract 0.8
For now, we can’t get a definite answer. We can model with an equation, but we cannot find the absolute amount Jocelyn will earn, as her hourly rates are both variables. All we must do to create an equation for this is multiply the amount of hours by the rate and add. You could model like this:
25n + 15x = total amount earned
