Solve for p:
p/8 + 3/8 = 25/8
p/8 + 3/8 = (p + 3)/8:
(p + 3)/8 = 25/8
Multiply both sides of (p + 3)/8 = 25/8 by 8:
(8 (p + 3))/8 = (8×25)/8
(8×25)/8 = (8×25)/8:
(8 (p + 3))/8 = (8×25)/8
(8 (p + 3))/8 = 8/8×(p + 3) = p + 3:p + 3 = (8×25)/8
(8×25)/8 = 8/8×25 = 25:
p + 3 = 25
Subtract 3 from both sides:
p + (3 - 3) = 25 - 3
3 - 3 = 0:
p = 25 - 3
25 - 3 = 22:
Answer: p = 22
Bookmark numbers helps keep track of how many bookmarks you have
I believe it’s B.) sorry if I’m wrong!!!!
Answer:
Option B. 16-8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
z ------> the number of apple left
x -----> the total number of apples
y -----> the number of apples sold
we know that
The numerical expression of the phrase " the number of apples left if eight out of the sixteen apples have been sold" is equal to subtract the number of apples sold from the total number of apples
so
z=x-y
we have
x=16 apples
y=8 apples
substitute
z=16-8
