Let's say the number is x.
The equation will be:
1/3x + 12 = x
(one third of a number + 12 equals to the number)
Solving the equation:
subtract 1/3x from both sides:
12 = 2/3x
divide by 2
6 = 1/3x
multiply with 3
18 = x
Your number is 18, its one-third is 6, which is 12 less than the number itself.
Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert a decimal or fraction to a percentage, multiply it by 100%.
3/5 × 100% = 60%
60% of students live within 1 mile of the school.
Eight and five hundred seventeen thousandths.
We know that these two angles are equal to each other (There is the "congruent" sign) so we can set them equal to each other and solve for x
3x - 17 = 25 - 3x
(3x + 3x) - 17 = 25 + (-3x + 3x)
6x + (- 17 + 17) = 25 + 17
6x/6 = 42/6
x = 7
