3x - 12

Triple a number would be 3x instead of x cubed as it is not asking for a number multiplied by itself three times.

-12 is the second half as since you don’t know whether or not the variable will be larger or smaller than the constant, it is safer to put it on the other half.

Thus, this equation fills in the worded format.

Hope this helps!

12-3x because 12 less than means 12- and tripe a number is 3x which is 12-3x or -3x+12

Is 3/8 estimated to be closer to 0 or 1?
kolezko [41]
The cut-off point is 0.5: higher than this would be closer to 1, and lower would be closer to 0

and 3/8 is lower than 0.5: we know this because a bigger number, 4/8 is equal to 0.5

so it's closer to 0!
