Small number =X
mid number = 3X-4
large number = 3x
X+3X-4+3X=24
7X-4=24
7X-4+4=24+4
7X=28
X=28/7
X=4
S=4
M=3(4) -4=12-4=8
L=3(4)=12
The numbers are 4,8 and 12
We want to subtract 8x + 3 from -2x+5. We can create an expression to represent this.
-2x + 5 - (8x + 3).
After this, lets distribute the - sign (think of this like expanding something with -1).
-2x + 5 - 8x - 3
Lastly, we just need to combine like terms.
-2x + 5 - 8x - 3
Combine the 5 and -3 to get 2.
-2x + 2 - 8x
Combine the -2x and -8x to get -10x.
-10x + 2
The final answer to the question is therefore A.
3.125 as a fraction is 25/8
The dog weighs 12 lbs.
The cat weighs 2/3 as much as the dog
- Divide 12 by 3
= 4
- Then multiply by 2
= 8
His cat weighs 8 pounds.
[(21 + 6) − 3^2] ÷ 9 ⋅ 2=[(27) − 9] ÷ 9 ⋅ 2
=18 ÷ 9 ⋅ 2
= 2 . 2
= 4
