Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 30 = 14 - 3x
4x = 44
x = 11
Let's call the unknown number x
Now let's decrease it by 30, that is x-30
Now let's write out "14 decreased by three times the number", that is 14 - 3x
The problem says these are the same, that is x - 30 = 14 - 3x
We now want to isolate, or solve for, x
Move the x to one side of the equation by adding 3x to both sides
3x + x -30 = 14 - 3x + 3x
4x -30 = 14
Now move the 30 to the right hand side by adding 30 to both sides
4x - 30 + 30 = 14 + 30
4x = 44
Now all we have to do to get x is divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = 44/4
x = 11
The correct answer is true. To maintain your body temperature, your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy. The human body converts the energy stored in the food into some other energy specifically thermal energy.

Answer:
46.125 square feet or sq. feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rug is shaped like a parallelogram with a base of feet. and a height of feet.
Now, the area of a parallelogram is given by the product of one side as the base and the perpendicular distance of that side from the opposite parallel side as height.
Now, the area of the given parallelogram is (20.5 × 2.25) = 46.125 square feet. (Answer)
Use proportions.
214/236=x/100(100 because it's a percentage.
cross multiply:
23600=214x
solve for x:
x= 11.3(rounded)
11.3% increase
