3 less: -3

difference of 16p and 15p: 16p - 15p = p

is equal to: =

the difference of 3 and 1/2: 3 - 1/2 = 2.5

p - 3 = 2.5

Isolate the p. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 3 to both sides

p - 3 (+3) = 2.5 (+3)

p = 2.5 + 3

p = 5.5

5.5 is your answer for p

hope this helps

joja [24]

Answer: The answer is (b) a ≤ 3 + 2j; j ≥ 14, a ≤ 35.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Anna is no more than 3 years older than 2 times Jamie’s age. Jamie is at least 14 and Anna is at most 35. We are to select the correct combination of inequalities among the given options.

Also, 'a' and 'j' are the possible ages of Anna and Jamie respectively. Therefore, according to the given information, we can write

$a\leq 2j+3,\\j\geq 14,\\a\leq 35.$

Thus, the correct option is (b) a ≤ 3 + 2j; j ≥ 14, a ≤ 35.

attashe74 [19]

Answer: $\frac{11}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that:

- 2/5 of the spice mixture was oregano.

- 1/3 of the spice mixture was basil.

Then, to find the fraction of the total amount of spice mixture that was oregano and basil, you must add both fractions, as following:

- Find the least common multiply of the denominators:

$LCM=5*3=15$

- Divide the LCM by each original denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.

- Make the addition.

Then, the result is:

$\frac{(2*3)+(1*5)}{15}=\frac{6+5}{15}=\frac{11}{15}$
