Read the text and write things you read one by one:
he says he read 1/3 of his novel. Let x represent number of pages of the novel.
1/3x is one third of that novel.

3 pages less than one third is:
1/3x - 3

and that represents 114 pages that he read.
now we make that equal to 114 and solve for x

1/3x - 3 = 114
1/3x = 114 + 3 = 117
x = 351

Answer is 351 pages

When Famke charges her phone, it gains 2 percentage points each minute. When Frmke uses her phone, it loses 5 percentage points
kkurt [141]
If t is the amount of time she used it, then it lost t*(5/min) percentage points; then she charged it for 2t, so it gained (2t)*(2/min) =t*(4/min) percentage points.
This means that above this time period, the phone lost t*(5/min)-t*(4/min) =t*(1/min) percentage points; because this loss is recognized to be 10 percentage points, this means t*(1/min) =10, so t=10 min.
This means that she used her phone for 10 minutes and charged it for 20 minutes.

Write an equation to represent 'twice a number (x) is fifty"​
V125BC [204]

Hi there,

Your question is "twice a number (x) is fifty"

Recall how a number is represented by x.

Twice a number would be represented as 2x.

Therefore, to represent that twice a number is equal to 50, that would result in the expression: 2x=50

If you're looking to solve this equation, it's often best to think about the "reverse" of the current equation.

Notice how 2 is multiplying the x.

To isolate x, divide that side by 2.

However, recall that whatever is done to one side of an equation must also be done to the other side of the equation. Therefore, you will need to divide both sides by 2.

2x=50

\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{50}{2}

x=25

Equation: 2x=50

Solving for x: 25

Hope that helps!

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Interestingly, the likelihood of a randomly chosen student being a female is <u><em>0.58</em></u> at this school.

Step-by-step explanation:

This school features more female students than male students. <em>Consequently, if resources are allocated equally (because it has been found that both female and male male students are similarly likely to be involved), the number of female students involved in after-school athletics programs is greater than the number of male students and could clarify the facilities issues.</em>
