64 - (3y + 8y + y) / 40 = 37
Simplify 3y + 8y + y
64 - 12y / 40 = 37
Add 12y / 40 to both sides and subtract 37
27 = 12y / 40
Multiply both sides by 40
1080 = 12y
Divide both sides by 12
90 = y
The answer is -1. You can multiply 3 by -2 which is -6. Then y is, obviously, 1. 3z would equal -6 because 3 times -2 is -6. The final equation is: -6-1-(-6. -6 minus 1 1is -7. Then -7 minus -6 is -1 because a negative minus a negative will be a negative.
M= (x+n)/p
Mp= x + n
x= n - Mp
In question a. it supply us with the info needed. So if the water troughs capacity
is
Then we will divide 160,000 by 5,000.
That would equal to 32.
Or 32 pigs per trough.
Hope I helped!
