Five out of 8 bags of m& ms had exactly 32 pieces in them. how many bags out of 40 should have exactly 32 pieces?

25

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to set up a ratio.

5       ?

-    =   -

8      40

(5 over 8 =blank over 40)

then you cross multiply and divide by the bottom number so 5x40=200

200 divided by 8=25

if im undersanding the question correctly, its organized from 10

step-by-step explanation:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
