Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
x/8+3=9
x/8=9-3
x/8=6
x=6*8
x=48
and 
use the second expression to calculate the left-hand side of the first equation:

Add 10 to both sides if this equation to get

and divide both sides by 2

this proves that x = 17, give the two initial equations
The thickness of a brand new US penny that hasn't been
worn down is 1.52 millimeters.
If you have a million pennies, there are many ways to arrange them.
You can pile them all in one pile, or shovel them into many piles, or
stack them up in any number of stacks up to a half-million stacks
with two pennies in each stack, or try somehow to stack them all up
in one stack that's a million thicknesses high.
Any stack with 'n' pennies in the stack is 1.52n millimeters high.
If you somehow succeed in stacking all million of them in one stack,
then the height of that stack would be . . .
(1,000,000) x (1.52 mm) = 1,520,000 millimeters
152,000 centimeters
1,520 meters
1.52 kilometers

Answer:
$738
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of Ellen's share (e) to Tom's share is ...
30%/20% = e/492
Multiplying by 492, we have ...
e = 492(3/2) = 738
Ellen's share of the profits is $738.
