Yep!
Weighing #1: Start off by splitting the pile of 12 coins evenly into two piles, 6 in each pile. Put one pile on each side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has the fake coin it in. Ignore the other 6 coins.
Weighing #2: Now you have 6 coins left. Split the pile evenly again, 3 in each pile. Repeat the same process and put each pile on one side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has your fake coin in it. Ignore the other 3 coins.
Weighing #3: You have 3 coins left. Take two coins, whichever two you like, and weigh them. If they weigh the same, then the one you didn't weigh is the fake one. If one is heavier, then that heavier one is your fake coin.
Answer:
I believe it's A) 5x + 6y = 58 8x + 11y = 97
Step-by-step explanation:
Reason is, adult tickets and child tickets are two different things, so they require two different variables, and two different equations because they have two different sums. (This was probably already obvious to you though).
Hope this helps :)
I tried my best to explain.
Answer:
15 girls, 10 boys

Since the ratio is 3:2, then the ratio can be rewritten as 15:10. So there are 15 girls and 10 boys
There are at least two different things that could go in
the blank spot and make the equation a true statement.
It could be " - 2 " .
It could be " · 4/3 " .
It could be " + 2 cos(π) "
etc.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = 4x - 8
<em>subtract 2x from both sides of the equation</em>
2x - 2x = 4x - 2x - 8
0 = 2x - 8
<em>add 8 to both sides of the equation</em>
0 + 8 = 2x - 8 + 8
8 = 2x
<em>divide both sides of the equation by 2</em>
8/2 = 2x/2
4 = x
