Answer:

number = 9

number = x

3 is added to a number = (x+3) result

3 times the number = 3x

15 less than three times the number = 3x-15

x+3 = 3x -15

3x-x= 3+15

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Sandwich sells for  $4.76  .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

It costs $2.80 to make a sandwich at the local deli shop.

To make a profit, the deli sells it at a price that is 170% of the cost.

170% is written in the decimal form

= \frac{170}{100}

= 1.7

Thus

Sandwich selling cost = 1.7 × Cost of making

Put all the values in the above

Sandwich selling cost = 1.7 × $ 2.80

                                    = $4.76

Therefore the Sandwich sells for  $4.76  .

For what value of x is 1/2 x = -9<br><br> x = 18<br> x= -4<br> x=-18<br> x= -36
Luda [366]

Answer:

x = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Multiply 2 to both sides:

(x/2) * 2 = (-9) * 2

x = -9 * 2

x = -18

x = -18 is your answer.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

  16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the measure of the angle. Then ...

  5a -30 = 2a +18

  3a = 48 . . . . . . . add 30-2a

  a = 16 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

An angel is beyond measure, but this angle has measure 16.
