Answer: Todd used 27 black tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of black tiles that Todd used.

Todd uses 21 white tiles & some black tiles to make a mosaic. This means that the total number of white and black tiles that Todd used is 21 + x

Each tile has an area of 3 square centimeters. This means that the total area covered by the white tiles is

21 × 3 = 63 square centimeters

Also, the total area covered by the black tiles is

3 × x = 3x square centimeters

The mosaic has a total area of 144 square centimeters. This means that

3x + 63 = 144

3x = 144 - 63

3x = 81

x = 81/3 = 27

Which equation represents this number sentence?<br> Two more than one-third of a number is 8
Alja [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One - third = 1/3

then:

one third of a number = a*1/3 = a/3

Then the equation that represents this sentence is:

2 + a/3 = 8

process:

a/3 = 8 - 2

a/3 = 6

a = 6*3

a = 18

Check:

2 + 18/3 = 8

2 + 6 = 8
