Answer:

I believe the answer is c.) x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

I saw this on a webpage:

The moment we see “x,” we can consider picking numbers. The key here is contemplating how complicated the number should be. Swim with the current – let the question tell you. A quick look at the answer choices reveals that x could be something simple. Ultimately, we’re just dividing this value by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

Keeping this in mind, let’s think about the first line of the question. If there are 3 times as many adults as children, and we’re keeping things simple, we can say that there are 3 adults and 1 child, for a total of 4 people. So, x = 4.

Now, we know that among our 3 adults, there are twice as many women as men. So let’s say there are 2 women and 1 man. Easy enough. In sum, we have 2 women, 1 man, and 1 child at this picnic, and a total of 4 people. The question is how many men are there? There’s just 1! So now we plug x = 4 into the answers and keep going until we find x = 1. Clearly x/4 will work, so C is our answer. The key was to let the question dictate our approach rather than trying to impose an approach on the question.

Ivan and Kate live 40 miles apart. Ivan leaves his house at 8:00 a.m.
Triss [41]

Answer: Time at which the meet = 10:17:24 am

Step-by-step explanation: Speed of Ivan = 12 mph

Speed of Kate = 16 mph

Total distance traveled = Initial separation = 40 miles

Ivan leaves his house at 8:00  a.m and Kate leaves her house at 9:30  a.m

If t is the time of catch up after Ivan starting, time taken by Kate is t - 1.5,

We have

            Distance = Speed x Time

         Total distance traveled = Distance traveled by Kate + Distance traveled by Ivan

       40 = t x 12 + (t-1.5) x 16

        40 = 28t - 24

         28t = 64

             t = 2.29 hours

So after 2.29 hours of Ivan's starting they meet,

Time = 8:00 am + 2.29 hours = 10:00 am + 0.29 x 60 minutes = 10:17am + 0.4 x 60 seconds = 10:17:24 am

Time at which the meet = 10:17:24 am

PLEASEEEEE HELPPPPP!!!!

Step One

Find AM

Formula

AM = MN - AN

Givens

MN = 67.2

AN = 32

Solution

AM - 67,2 - 32

AM = 35.2

Step Two

Set up a solution

67.2/35.2 = 81.9/x            Cross Muliply

67.2 * x   =    81.9 * 35.2   Combine the right

67.2 * x = 2882.88            Divide by 67.2

x = 2882.88/67.2

x = 42.9                             Answer

Find the x-intercept of the line 3x - 9y = 15.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The x-intercept is 5.

Some people prefer you right it as a point (5,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept can be found by setting y=0 and solving for x.

Just like to find the y-intercept you can set x=0 and solve for y.

Let's find the x-intercept.

So we will set y=0 and solve for x:

3x-9y=15

3x-9(0)=15

3x-0    =15

3x        =15

Divide both sides by 3:

 x         =15/3

 x          =5

So the x-intercept is (5,0).

How do you do 18?? I did a and b, but I don't think I did them right, and I have no idea how to do c.

Rememer that the perimiter is the distance around
it is
P=L+L+W+W or
P=2L+2W or
P=2(L+W)

so

a.
tenis
L=2x+6
W=x
P=2(2x+6+x)=2(3x+6)=6x+12

basketball
L=3x-14
W=1/2x+32
P=2(3x-14+1/2x+32)=2(3.5x+18)=7x+36



b.
how much bigger is basketball than tennis
7x+36=bigger+6x+12
minus 6x+12 both sides
x+24=bigger
it is x+24 bigger


c.
x=36
Ptenis=6x+12=6(36)+12=216+12=228ft
Pbasketball=7x+36=7(36)+36=252+36=288ft
