Answer:
8x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 4) + 5x
3x + 12 + 5x
8x + 12
If you want to make 12 cookies (one dozen), you would use 3/8 cup of sugar because the original recipe requires twice that amount of sugar and also makes twice that amount of cookies.
From a reliable source, the ratio between the width and the length of the tennis court is equal to 5:12. We let x be the common factor of the given ratio such that the width is equal to 5x and the length is equal to 12x.
The perimeter of the figure is calculated through the equation,
P = 2L + 2W
where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width.
Substituting the derived expressions to the equation above.
228 = (2)(12x) + 2(5x)
x = 114/17
The width and length are calculated below.
Width = (5)(114/17) = 570/17 ft = 33.53 ft
Length = (12)(114/17) = 1368/17 ft = 80.47 ft
Thus, the dimensions are approximately 33.53 ft and 80.47 ft.
Answer:
The answer is 7/24.
Step-by-step explanation:
I attached a picture, but I'll try to walk through it here.
1) A negative and a negative makes a positive, so h becomes positive.
2) I added 7/8 to both sides, in order to "isolate the variable", which simply means to get h by itself, on one side of the equation (you'll likely hear it said both ways).
3) I multiplied 7/8 by 3/3, and multiplied -7/12 by 2/2. This is known as a common denominator, which in this case is 24. You can only add and subtract fractions that have a common denominator.
4) Multiply both of the fractions to get 21/24 + (-14/24). "Adding a negative" is the same thing as subtracting.
5) 21 - 14 = 7, and since our denominators are the same, the answer is 7/24.
You can confirm the answer by substituting, or "plugging" 7/24 into your original equation, in place of h.
