Answer:

-64/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the word "quotient" means the answer to a division problem. Therefore, its a division problem, so you have to work backwards with multiplication. -8 times a number is 5/8, so the other number is going to be negative.

The number is -64/5

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Form this quotient, representing the number by n: n / (-8) = 5/8.

Solve this equation for n by multiplying both sides by 8: -n = 5. Then n = -5

To sovle this we must combine the numbers togther and the variables togther.

We have:

8c -3c

Now lets take out the numbers:

6-2

Mikes plumbing charges 68 for coming to your house and 17 per hour for labor if I paid him 357, how many hours, h, was mike at m

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

b. $68 + 17h = 357$

f. 17 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Charges for coming to my house = $68 (this will be the constant of the equation)

Amount charged per hour labor = $17

hours = h

Total amount paid to Mike = 357

The equation that represents this situation can be expressed as:

$68 + 17h = 357$

Solve for h

$68 + 17h - 68 = 357 - 68$ (subtraction property of equality)

$17h = 289$

$\frac{17h}{17} = \frac{289}{17}$ (division property of equality)

$h = 17$

Mike was in my house for 17 hours.
