Answer:

Option b is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given condition : Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number.

Here, the number is x

The quotient of a number x and twelve is expressed as , $\frac{x}{12}$

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is expressed as, $\frac{x}{12}-7$

Five times the number mean, $5x$

Therefore, we have an equation in the form of <em>x</em> from the given condition as:

$\frac{x}{12}-7=5x$ .

The perimeter of a square can represent by 16x + 24. Willa wants to write an equivalent expression for the perimeter that shows

Maslowich

The diagram shows that all the sides of the rectangle are congruent. Since the perimeter all of the sides added up, all you have to do is divide the perimeter by 4.

Therefore, the perimeter, which is 16x + 24, can be divided by 4 to find the length of one side.

16x + 24/4 = length of one side. So, the length of one side is 4x + 6.

Hope this helped!

To find:

The value of the business in Bir.

Solution:

Let x be the value of the business.

It is given that a man owns 3/4 of the share of a business and sells 1/3 of his shares for Bir 10,000.

$x\times \dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{1}{3}=10000$
