Answer:
D. 3 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum means addition (+)
Sum of a number, x and 1/2=4
This means the addition of the two numbers
x+1/2=4
Make x the subject of formula
x=4-1/2
Finding the L.C.M
= 8-1/2
x=7/2
x=3 1/2
3 x 10^6
Shouldn't be too hard for ya ;)
First let’s express the total number of marbles as such:
y(yellow marbles) + r(red marbles)=23; y+r=23
now let’s express the relation of yellow marbles to red marbles:
y=2r(2 times red marbles) - 4(4 less marbles); y=2r-4
since we figured out what y equals, we can plug into the first equation we created:
(2r-4)+r=23
now solve for r:
2r-4+r=23
combine like terms
3r-4=23
add 4 to both sides
3r=27
divide both side by 3
r=9
plug r back into first equation and solve for y:
y+9=23
subtract 9
y=14
there are 9 red marbles and 14 yellow marbles!
12+11x=17x11x+12=17x
(both sides of the equation)
11x+12−17x=17x−17x
(Subtract 17x from both sides)
−6x+12=0−6x+12−12=0−12
(Subtract 12 from both sides)
−6x=−12−6x−6=−12−6
(Divide both sides by -6)
x=2
Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)
x=2
