Answer:
8.333333
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2(4+6x)=133
3x+8+12x=133 First I distibuted the 2 too the 4 and 6x
15x+8=133 Then I added the x es 3x and 12x
15x+8-8=133-8 Then I subracted 8 from both sides
15x=125 That leaves with this
15x/15=125/15 Now I divide 15 from both sides to isolate x
x= 8.33333 that is the answer
check
3x+2(4+6x)=133
3*8.333333+2(4+6*8.333333)=133
24.999999 +2(4+ 49.999998)=133
24.999999+2( 53.999998)=133
24.999999+107.999996=133
132.999995=133

Answer:
length: 16 m; width: 13 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Write each of the statements as an equation. You know that the formula for the perimeter is ...
P = 2(L +W)
so one of your equations is this one with the value of P filled in:
• 2L + 2W = 58
The other equation expresses the relation between L and W:
• L = W +3 . . . . . . . . the length is 3 meters greater than the width
There are many ways to solve such a system of equations. Since you have an expression for L, it is convenient to substitute that into the first equation to get ...
2(W+3) +2W = 58
4W +6 = 58 . . . . . . . simplify
4W = 52 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6
W = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4
We can use the expression for L to find its value:
L = 13 +3 = 16
The length is 16 meters; the width is 13 meters.
Answer:
In think the answer is 42,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Because of the fact that the amberjack is essentially three snappers, it can be shown as 3s
since one snapper is one s, and the amberjack is 3s, we can combine like terms
s+3s = 4s
because altogether, the fish weigh 44 pounds, 4s would equal 44 (shown as 4s = 44), from there, simply divide by 4 on both sides to get the weight of a snapper;
s = 11
Small bonus (finding an amberjack)
Since an amberjack is equal to three snappers, and a snapper is 11 pounds, an amberjack would be 33 pounds.
