Janes weight = x
Twelve pounds less than twice janes weight is 270 pounds
12 less than 2x is 270
2x -12 = 270 (add 12 to each side)
2x = 270 + 12
2x = 282 (divide 2 from each side)
x = 282/2
x = 141
The answer is 141 pounds
What exactly is your question?
Answer:
= 3b/4
Step-by-step explanation:
= b . 4/12 + b . 3/12 + b . 2/12
Apply the fraction rule: a/c + b/c = a + b/c
= b . 4 + b . 3 + b . 2/12
= 4b + 3b + 2b/12
Add similar elements: 4b + 3b + 2b = 9b
= 9b/12
Cancel 9b/12: 3b/4
= 3b/4
1,250/5 = 250 calories per serving
