Answer:
1a) 25, 1b) 3, 2a) 14, 2b) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1a)
x/5 + 10 = 15
Subtract 10 from both sides:
x/5 = 15 - 10
x/5 = 5
Multiply both sides by 5:
x = 5 * 5
x = 25
1b)
25x + 26 = 101
Subtract 26 from both sides:
25x = 101 - 26
25x = 75
Divide both sides by 25:
x = 75/25
x = 3
2a)
Four less than a number is 10.
Let's call the number x. This means:
x - 4 = 10
Now add 4 to both sides:
x = 10 + 4
x = 14
2b)
The product of three and a number equals 12.
Let's call the number x. This means:
3 * x = 12
Now divide both sides by 3:
x = 12/3
x = 4
Find the ratio of two corresponding sides,
- if you start with the smaller figure, your answer will be less than one
- if you start with the larger figure, your answer will be greater than one
2/3 cup + 2/3 cup = 1 1/3 cups
1 1/3 cups - 1/4 = 1 1/8 cups
There will be 1 1/8 cups left after the broth has been boiled.
#4 .
x + 8 - 8 = 7 - 8
It's "Subtraction property of equality"
It's correct
