The <em>correct answer</em> is:
Her number is 7.
Explanation:
Let x represent her number.
She triples her number; this is represented by 3x.
She then adds 5 to this; this gives us 3x+5.
She gets 26 aas her answer. This gives us the equation:
3x+5 = 26
To solve this, first subtract 5 from each side:
3x+5-5 = 26-5
3x = 21
Divide each side by 3:
3x/3 = 21/3
x = 7

Answer:
There are 35 students in the class
Step-by-step explanation:
We would divide 21 by 60%
21/0.6 = 35 students.
Amount of fuel in the tank before the story begins . . . . . zero.
Total amount poured in . . . . . 3/4 gallon.
Total amount burned:
on Friday . . . . . 1/4 gallon
on Sunday . . . . 1/4 gallon
Total used . . 1/2 gallon .
Amount remaining in the tank on Monday:
(3/4 gallon in) - (1/2 gallon burned) = 1/4 gallon left.
==> NOT empty
The tank would have been empty on Monday IF Becky
had poured in only 1/2 gallon, instead of 3/4 of a gallon
before the first flakes began to fly.
