Tom has 26 marbles. Let x= the amount of marbles Luke has. If Tom has twice as much, the amount of marbles he has is represented as 2x. 2x+x=39. 3x=39. X=13, and since Tom has twice that amount, 13 times 2 is 26! Hope this helped! ;)

Tom has 26 marbles. if you need to show your work it would be 13x2= 26 and 26+13=39

A survey was given to 339 people asking whether people like dogs and/or cats.
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it as a Venn diagram.  One circle is the people who like dogs, and one circle is the people who like cats.  The overlap is people who like both dogs and cats.

190 people in the survey said they like dogs.  That includes the people who like both dogs and cats.

141 people in the survey said they like cats.  That includes the people who like both dogs and cats.

If we simply add the two numbers together, we'll be counting the overlap twice.  So to find the total number of people who like dogs or cats, we have to subtract one overlap.

dogs or cats = 190 + 141 − x

Therefore:

190 + 141 − x + 88 = 339

419 − x = 339

x = 80

80 people said they liked both cats and dogs.

an elephant eats about 2500 pounds of food in 10 days. About how muck food does an elephant eat in 1000 days
andriy [413]
2500/10=250
250 represents how much the elephant can eat in one day. Since they want to know how much the elephant can eat in 1000 days you would multiply 250 and 1000 which leaves you with 250,000 pounds of food.

The elephant can eat 250,000 pounds of food in 10 days. :)
