The letter x is a placeholder for a number. If we knew what x was, then we can replace it with that number. For now it's unknown.

We start off with x markers in a single box. Then 15 are given out to be left with x-15 markers. This happens exactly 3 times which is what the diagram shows

3 copies of (x-15) = 3*(x-15) = 3x- 45

Put another way, we have 3 'x's that add to 3x, and we have 3 copies of "-15" which combine to -45

So,

3x-45 = 90

3x-45+45 = 90+45 ... add 45 to both sides

3x = 135

3x/3 = 135/3 .... divide both sides by 3

x = 45

Therefore, we started off with 45 markers in each box. If we take 15 away then x-15 = 45 - 15 = 30 markers are left. Then triple this to get 3*30 = 90 which is the total amount left over. This helps confirm the answer.

Final Answer: 45 markers were originally in each box

Bad White [126]

Answer:

1,345,456,232,999, 777,344

Step-by-step explanation:

1,345,456,23   4,   2   3    4,   3    4     5,   2    3      4,

<u>                         -1    2   3     4,    5   6     7,   8    9     0        </u>

<u>1,345,456,23    2,  9   9     9,    7     7    7,   3   4     4      </u>

<u />

So we write the ones under the ones, tens under the tens  starting from the right hand side.

The first numbers can be easily subtracted as 4 is greater than zero. Then comes 3 which is less than 9 so we borrow 1 digit from the left to right to make it 13 and subtract 9 from it and get a 4. Then we are left with 1 as we have already borrowed 1 digit. As 1 is less than 8 we again borrow 1 digit from the left to make it 11 and subtract 8 and get 3. So the next number is 4 as we have already borrowed 1 and it is less than 7 . Again we will borrow 1 digit from the left to make it 14 and subtract 7 to get a 7.

So the process continues until we get the answer.

If you subtract 1/2 from a no. And multiply the result by 1/2, you get 1/8. What is the no.? ​
Bad White [126]

Answer:

no = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(no-1/2)=1/8

1/2no - 1/4 = 1/8

1/2no = 1/8 + 1/4

1/2no = 3/8

no = 3/4
