Solve for z in the equation above.

in this case, we express James’ uncle’s age in terms of James’ age. From the equation:

James’ age is n

James’s uncle’s age is m=3n-13

Thus, the relation that relates James’ uncle’s age in terms of James’ age is m=3n-13.

We are asked to make z the subject of the formula.

First, we subtract y/x from both sides of the equation

Thus, the formula for finding the value of z is  .

We are asked to find the fraction of pizza the three friends shared equally.

First, the whole pizza is represented by 1. If one friend ate a quarter of the pizza, then:

First friend eats =1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/4=3/4

Now, the three friends share 3/4 amongst themselves equally. So, each friend gets

The three friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

we are tasked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.

This is a proportion equation, and letting x be the number of cups of flour we set the equation as follows:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Next, we convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication

The baker needs 15.75 cups of flour to make 120 cookies.  15.75 in mixed fraction is  

We are tasked to find the unknown values of x in the given equation.

First, we add 8 to both sides of the equation.

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

If   , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

From our resulting equation, a=14, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition (u=a) becomes

Solving for x

The second condition (u= -a) becomes

Solving for x

Thus, the value of x is 4 or -3

A dependent variable is one that changes when another variable changes. In this case, the cost of the phone will change depending on the change inbrand name, size of the RAM, and size of the battery. Thus, cost of a phone is a dependent variable.

This problem asks us to compare the number of dimes to nickels.

If we let p be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,

Number of quarters in the bottle = 4p

Number of nickels in the bottle = 2p

Number of dimes in the bottle =7(2p)=14p

To find the number of dimes the child has than nickels, we use the ratio:

\(\frac{Dimes}{nickels} =\frac {14p}{2p}\ =\ 7\)

Thus, there are 7times as many dimes as nickels in the box.

we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank holds. A full tank is treated as 1 whole.

Letting x be the number of gallons in full tank and setting the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.

x 1 full tank=185 gallons23full tank

A full tank holds 27/5 gallons, which when converted to a mixed fraction is 5 2/5.

A histogram will be appropriate to represent the time the students wake up every day of the week. The histogram is used to represent the frequency of the variable with another variable. In our case the vertical axis will represent the number of students (frequency) while the time of waking up on the horizontal axis.

In this case, we use a calculator to estimate the positive square root of 42.

Then, multiplying the square root above with 6 becomes

Then, the approximate value of 6 time the positive square root of 42 is 38.9.
