2. Translate the following statement into an equation. Six times the difference between a number and 8 is equal to 5 less than twice the number. DO NOT SOLVE

The statement is written as

6( x - 8) = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Six times the the difference between a

number and 8 is written as

6 ( x - 8)

5 less than twice the number is written as

2x - 5

So the overall expression is written as

6( x - 8) = 2x - 5

Hope this helps you.

hey there : ) your answer would be a.

step-by-step explanation:

fabric (square meters)                   cloaks

7                                                           21

4/3                                                         4

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that harry needs 2 square meters of fabric for every 6 wizard cloaks he makes.

1. first of all we will find how many cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric by dividing 6 by 2.

we can see that 3 cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric. now we will multiply 3 by 7 to find number of cloaks made from 7 square meters of fabric.

therefore, harry will make 21 cloaks from 7 square meters of fabric.

2. let us find how many square meters of fabric will be needed to make 4 cloaks.

first of all we will find fabric needed for 1 cloak by dividing 2 by 6.

we can see that fabric needed for 1 cloak is   square meter. now we will multiply   by 4 to find fabric needed for 4 cloaks.
