12 feet long

1st piece = x

2nd piece = 2x-3

3x-3 =12

3x=15

x = 5

1st piece = 5 feet

2nd piece = 2*5=10-3=7 feet

Well if I did the right calculations... Kim is 24. The sister is age twelve! Hope I helped.

A. K+S=36

B. Well Simple Addition and Subtraction solves this easily. If you Add 12+12 it equals 24. It still needs to be larger so that Kim is twice as old as her little sister. So you Add another 12 which gives you 36. Or you can easily subtract 12 from it and that will also bring you to 24.

Ryan is performing an experiment. He starts with a solution that has a temperature of 12.2°C. He lowers the temperature 5 times

Anon25 [30]

Answer: The equation that can be used to find x, is given by

$-14.61^\circ C=12.2^\circ C-5x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of degrees he lowered the temperature by each time be 'x'.

Temperature he starts with = 12.2° C

Temperature he stopped with = -14.61° C

According to question, it is said that he lowers the temperature 5 times by the same amount each time.

So, it becomes,

$-14.61=12.2-5x\\\\-14.61-12.2=-5x\\\\-26.81=-5x\\\\\frac{26.81}{5}=x\\\\5.362^\circ C=x$

Hence, the equation that can be used to find x, is given by

$-14.61^\circ C=12.2^\circ C-5x$

Leo's townhouse has a market value of $310,000. The property in Leo's area is assessed at 40% of the market value. The tax rate

miss Akunina [59]

Market value = $310,000

Since market value for tax purposes is 40% of the actual market value,

Market value for tax assessment = $310,000*40% = $124,000

Tax rate per $1000 of assessed valuation = $145.10 or 14.51% of the assessed value

Hence tax to be paid by leo = $124000*14.51% = $17992.40
