Answer:
um
Step-by-step explanation:
8/3=3x (cross multiplied to get this)
X=8/9 (divided both sides by 3)
Hope this helps :)
Answer=24 blue marbles and 3 red marbles
r=red marbles
b=blue marbles
b=3(r+5)
27=b+r
substitue b for '3(r+5)'
27=3(r+5)+r
27=3r+15+r
27=4r+15
subtract 15 from both sides
12=4r
divide both sides by 4
3=r
There are 3 red marbles
27=b+r
27=b+3
subtract 3 from both sides
24=b
There are 24 blue marbles
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
The text of this expression is:
"If 3 is added to twice a number, the result is 17. Find the number"
Let's call
the number we want to find.
Twice the number is equal to

So, if we add 3 to 2x, we get

And we know that this is equal to 17:

Now we can solve the equation to find x: first, we subtract 3 from both sides

Now we divide both sides by 2:

X = 8/(-1/3) therefore the answer is -24
