eight more than twice a number is less than twenty (what is the expression)
2x+8 <20
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Replace the variable x with -2 in the expression.
f (-2) = -3 x -2 -2
Simplify (-3 x -2 -2) + 9
Multiply -3 by -2
6 - 2 + 9
Subtract 2 from 6
4 + 9
add 4 and 9
13.
Answer:
D 9/26
Step-by-step explanation:
Out of the 10th graders there are 104 total responses. Knowing we only need data from 10th graders we can ignore everything else. 36/104 10th graders like cats and if you divide that by 4 you'll get the only possible answer of 9/26. D 9/26 10th graders like cats.
Ratio 1:2:3 means we have x, 2x and 3x as the three parts
x+2x+3x = 42
6x = 42
6x/6 = 42/6
x = 7
Since x = 7, this means 2x = 2*7 = 14 and 3x = 3*7 = 21
Dividing 42 into the ratio of 1:2:3 means we have 7:14:21 as the answer
If we divide all three parts of 7:14:21 by the GCF 7, we reduce it down to 1:2:3
As a check,
7+14+21 = 21+21 = 42
so it works out
