You can set up a simple algebraic equivalent to find a number equivalent to 200 after being multiplied by 3 and added 11 to.

3x+11=200
3x=189
x=63

Well let's work backwards to find out! Okay so subtract 11 from 200 (because you added 11) then you got 189 know and then you would divide the number by 3 (because you tripled it) so 189÷3=63 so let's try it with 63.

63 tripped is 189, 11 added to 189 is 200

So know know that it works we know it's our answer. 63

The image shows the distances in miles between three cities. How much closer is it to travel from Aurora to Clifton directly tha

Answer:

First we need to calculate the distance between Clifton and Burlington by using Pythagorean theorem:

x² + 65² = 97²

=> x² = 97² - 65²

=> x² = 5184

=> x = √5184 = 72 (m)

The total distance from Aurora to Clifton through Burlington is: 65 + 72 = 137 (m)

We have: 137 - 97 = 40 (m)

So it is 40 m closer to travel from Aurora to Clifton directly than from Aurora to Clifton through Burlington
