Answer:
There were 6 benches in park 1 and 18 benches in park 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the no of benches in Park 1 and y in park 2.
Given that there are 12 more benches in park 2 than 1
Writing this in equation form, we have y = x+12 ... i
Next is if 2 benches were transferred from park 2 to park 1, then we have
x+2 in park 1 and y-2 in park 2.
Given that y-2 = twice that of x+2
Or y-2 = 2x+4 ... ii
Rewrite by adding 2 to both sides of equation ii.
y = 2x+6 ... iii
i-iii gives 0 = -x+6
Or x =6
Substitute in i, to have y = 6+12 = 18
Verify:
Original benches 6 and 18.
18 = 6+12 hence I condition is satisfied
18-2 = 2(6+2)
II is also satisfied.
Answer:
n = -33
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = number
Sum of a number and 9
(n+9)
is tripled
3(n+9)
the result is six less then twice the number
2n-6
3(n+9) = 2n-6
Distribute
3n+27 = 2n-6
Subtract 2n from each side
3n-2n +27 = -6
n +27 = -6
Subtract 27 from each side
n+27-27 = -6-27
n =-33
Answer:
0.008
Step-by-step explanation:
because you have to divide it
So you need to divide 430 into 25 to get 17.2
