X = total boats
2/3x are white....so the remaining boats = 1/3x
5/8 of the remaining boats are blue.....5/8 * 1/3 = 5/24x are blue

2/3 + 5/24 = 16/24 + 5/24 = 21/24 are blue and white......so 3/24 are red
3/24x = 6
x = 6 * 24/3
x = 144/3
x = 48 total boats in the marina <==

2/3(48) = 32 white
5/24(48) = 10 blue
3/24(48) = 6 red

Solve 3x − x + 2 = 12.<br><br> −5<br> 4<br> 7<br> 5
Papessa [141]
Judging by the question I noticed that I can simplify the equation 3x-x+2=12 by one step.
The outcome of simplification should be 2x+2=12.

Next you must subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the x. The new equation should be 2x = 10.

Lastly you must divide both sides by 2, the answer you should get is x=5, D.

Suppose that a local trout population exhibits exponential growth by doubling every 4 years. Considering that the initial popula
antoniya [11.8K]
Okay, so this is just a basic multiplication problem. first, we need to divide to figure out how much the trout population grows after 1 year. If it doubles in 4 years, then it will rise by a quarter each single year. So to put that in terms of fractions, then for every year, the equation would be 250x1/4. So then we do the equation, coming up with 62.5. This means that the population rises roughly 63 fish a year. So after 1 year, you will have roughly 313 fish. (312.5 to be exact). Then to get that by ten years, we can just multiply the number that we got for one year by ten. 62.5x10=625. So then we add the 250 original trout, and 250+625=875. So after 10 years, there will be 875 trout.
