<u>ANSWER:
</u>
The value of x after evaluating the given equation x + 6 - 5 = 8 - 2 is 5.
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
Given, equation in one variable is x + 6 – 5 = 8 – 2
And, now, we have to find the value of the variable x in the equation by solving the given equation.
So, let us solve the given equation for x.
Then, x + 6 – 5 = 8 – 2
x = 8 – 2 – (6 – 5) [sending all the numerical terms on left side to the right side.
x = 8 – 2 – 6 + 5
x = 8 + 5 – 2 – 6
x = 13 – 8 = 5
Hence, the value of x after evaluating the given equation is 5.
I believe the answer is 9.
Your answer would be the second option
Answer:
She has 2 1/24 meters of ribbon
Step-by-step explanation:
Skye has 12 1/4 meters of ribbon, and she uses 2/3 of that.
To know how much she uses we have to multiply the total by the fraction she uses:
12 1/4 * 2/3,
12 1/4 is the same as 49/4, so we can solve by multiplying the nominators and denominators:
49/4 * 2/3 = 49/6;
So she used 49/4 meters of ribbon or 8.167 m.
Now we are going to see how much ribbon is left by subtracting from the total what she used:
12 1/4 - 49/4 = 49/12 meters that she has left.
And out of those she uses 1/2, so we are going to multiply what she has left by 1/2:
49/12 * 1/2 = 49/24 = 2 1/24 = 2.04167 meters that she used of the remaining.
And because she used half she still has the other half of the remaining:
2 1/24 or 2.94167 meters.
Answer:
The multiplicative identity property allows this to be true.
