There are 20 balls in the bag altogether.

If 12 of them are not blue, that means that 8 of them are blue. We can find out what percent of the blue balls are in the bag by turning it into a fraction.

The fraction \frac{8}{20} represents the 8 blue balls out of the 20 balls altogether.

Now that we have our fraction, we can change it into a percent. The fraction \frac{8}{20} can be reduced to \frac{2}{5} by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor.

2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

0.4 x 100 = 40%

40% of the balls in the bag are blue.

5+7+8=20   which is the total number of balls that the bag contains
because out of the 20 balls only the 8 are blue, it is right to say that

8/20 = x/100 ⇒ x= (8·100)/20 ⇒ x= 800/20 ⇒ x=40

the blue balls are the 40%

Well 1 pound equals 0.0005 tons. So you have to do 7,000/ 0.0005 which is 3.5. So 7,000 pounds equals 3.5 tons.

Evaluate and simplify <br><br> F(x)=3-6x^2 for f(x+3)
Olegator [25]

Insert x + 3 instead of x into the equation of the function f(x):

f(x) = 3 - 6x²

f(x + 3) = 3 - 6(x + 3)²

use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

= 3 - 6(x² + 2(x)(3) + 3²) = 3 - 6(x² + 6x + 9)

use distributive property

= 3 + (-6)(x²) + (-6)(6x) + (-6)(9) = 3 - 6x² - 36x - 54

combine like terms

= -6x² - 36x - 51

<h3>Answer: f(x + 3) = -6x² - 36x - 51</h3>

Find the value of x shown below
irakobra [83]

Angles opposite to the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal, so the third angle in this triangle is also 61.  Now, you know all the angles in the triangle, you can use the Triangle Sum Theorem, which says that all the angles in a triangle add up to 180.

x + 61 + 61 = 180

x + 122 = 180

x = 58

Hope this helped!

Illusion [34]
You could solve this using a proportion or just by common sense. 

Proportion: 8/12 = x/126

Cross multiply: 12x = 1008

1008/12 = 84

Or the common sense route is just dividing 12 by 8 then multiplying the answer by 126. Either way, you get the same answer. Hope this helps! :)
