Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation:

Three-eighths times p equals 9.

We can set up the equation:

(3/8)p = 9

To isolate p, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/8, which is 8/3:

[(3/8)p] x (8/3) = 9 x (8/3)

The 3 in the numerator and denominator cancel out on the left side and the equation becomes:

p = (9 x 8) / 3

Simplifying the right side gives:

p = 72 / 3

p = 24

Therefore, the solution to the equation is p = 24.

I apologize for the mistake. Let's solve the equation correctly.

To solve the equation "Three-eighths times p equals 9," we can set up the equation as:

(3/8)p = 9

To isolate p, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/8, which is 8/3:

(3/8)p * (8/3) = 9 * (8/3)

On the left side, the 3 in the numerator cancels out with the 3 in the denominator:

p = 9 * (8/3)

Simplifying the right side gives:

p = 24

Therefore, the solution to the equation is p = 24.

Answer 4

x minus 7 equals 30.
Image with alt text: x minus 7 equals 30.

7 plus 30 equals x.
Image with alt text: 7 plus 30 equals x.

x plus 7 equals 30

The appropriate equation that models the situation is:

x plus 7 equals 30.

This equation represents that the number of CDs, x, added to the 7 CDs that can fit on the rack before it is full will be equal to the total capacity of the rack, which is 30 CDs.

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find out how many CDs are in the rack, we need to calculate the number of CDs that can fit before the rack is full and then add it to the rack's total capacity.

We are given that we can fit 7 more CDs on the rack before it is full. This means that the current number of CDs on the rack is 30 - 7 = 23.

Therefore, there are 23 CDs in the rack.

Answer 8

Solve the equation.

23 equals 7 times x.

Answer 9

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation "23 equals 7 times x," we can divide both sides of the equation by 7:

23/7 = (7x)/7

Simplifying the right side gives:

23/7 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x equals 23/7 or 3 and one-seventh.

The correct response is:

x equals 3 and one-seventh.
Image with alt text: x equals 3 and one-seventh.

b equals 4.2.
Image with alt text: b equals 4.2.

b equals 5.7.
Image with alt text: b equals 5.7.

b equals 5.2.

Answer 11

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation "b plus 8 equals 12.2," we can isolate b by subtracting 8 from both sides:

b + 8 - 8 = 12.2 - 8

Simplifying both sides gives:

b = 4.2

Therefore, the solution to the equation is b equals 4.2.

The correct response is:

b equals 4.2.
