For a two-variable equation, the structure is ax + by = r, where r represents the total number of petri dishes ordered. Therefore, this can be expressed as ax + by = 185, where ax signifies the number of dishes utilized multiplied by the number of days, translating to 12x. Consequently, the equation is simplified to 12x + y = 185, with b remaining unknown.

Value of expression 6 3/4(-11.5)
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

6 * 3/4 = 4.5 = 9/2 = 412

Step-by-step

6 * 3/4 = 6/1  3*4 = 18/4 = 9/2

2 · 2 = 9/2

Both the numerators and denominators are to be multiplied. Retain the resulting fraction with the lowest possible denominator; GCD(18, 4) = 2. In this intermediate calculation, cancelling by the common factor of 2 results in 9

2

.

In summary - six times three quarters equals nine halves.
