Answer:
he had 44 books before he bought those 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you multiply 6 times 2 it is 12, which means if you take away 12 from 100 that is 88. if you divided 88 by 2 (the same thing you did to the 6 to make it 12%) that would be 44.
Answer:
214
Step-by-step explanation:
The set up would be x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854, naturally as the numbers are consecutive. Solving for x:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854,
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 854,
4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 854,
4x + 6 = 854,
4x = 854 - 6 = 848,
x = 848/4 = 212
The third number then should be 212 + 2 = 214
18x + 8x = -3
26x = -3
x = -3/26

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² -x - 6 = 2x² - 4x + 3x - 3*2
= 2x*(x - 2) + 3*(x - 2)
= (x-2)(2x + 3)
A = 2x² -x - 6
A = (x - 2)(2x + 3)
length*width = (x - 2)(2x + 3)
length * (2x +3) = (x - 2)(2x + 3)
length = x - 2
