The number of students in Mr. Boggs’s homeroom is equal to b. Add the total number of students in each class and set it equal to 90.
90 = b + 1.5(b + 2) + 15 + (2b – 9)
Use the Distributive Property, and collect like terms. 90 = b + 1.5b + 3 + 15 + 2b – 9
90 = 4.5b + 9
This is simply a question about ratios. This ratio means that for every 1 cm on the map, there are 12 km in actuality. You can set this problem up in fractions:
1 cm 12 cm
-------- = ----------
12 km x
To solve for x, we cross-multiply, for the moment ignoring units. Remember, your answer will be in km.
1*x=12*12
x=144
If x=144, then for 12 cm, there are 144 km.
Y=12.5x
because 12.5 is the constant and this is a directly proportional equation
<span>Actually the above equation can be solved by following the below steps to fins the value of x
Step1: 3(x-k)/w=4
Step 2: (3x-3k)/w=4
Step 3: (3x-3k)=4w
Step 4: 3x=4w+3k
So hence therefore by following the above steps we can conclude that the value of x is
Step 5: x=(4w+3k)/3</span>
