2 (x - 5) = 8
To solve, you use the distributive property as shown below!! :)
2x - 10 = 8
2x = 18
x = 9
Hope this helped you :)
Answer:
4m
Step-by-step explanation:
m+m+m+m
There is an implied 1 in front of each term
1m+1m+1m+1m
Factor out the m
(1+1+1+1)m
4m
we need the graph/ lines,
but just remember
wherever 2 lines intersect, that is a solution
if they are paralell, no solutions
if they cross, 1 solution
if they are the same line/ the lines are on top of each other exactly, infinite solutions
Answer:
10 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x pounds be the amount of mixed nuts we require.
Amount of peanuts in this mix = 0.70x pounds. Amount of peanuts in the 20% mix = 0.20*15 = 3 pounds.
So we have the equation:-
0.70 x + 3 = 0.40(x + 15)
0.70 x + 3 = 0.40(x + 15)
0.70x + 3 = 0.40x + 6
0.70x - 0.40x = 6 - 3
0.30x = 3
x = 10.
