200+ 10 + 6= 216

288 books.
8 books in 5 minutes.
60 minutes in one hour.
5 * 12 = 60
60 minutes * 3 = 3 hours
8 * 12 = 96
96 books in one hour.
96 * 3 = 288
288 books in three hours.
X=Amount of skittles at the start.
Nasir ate 10 skittles and Seif ate 6 skittles so the number of skittles they had(x) - how many they both ate equals : 2/3;
(x-10)/(x-6)=2/3
3(x-10)=2(x-6)
3x-30=2x-12
x-30=-12
x=18
They each started with 18 skilttles.
Generally, x <span>• x is accepted to mean "x times x" or "x multiplied by x"
and x+x means "x plus x" or "x added to x"
let's try by subsituting numbers for them
if we can find one case where the statement "x+x is the same as x</span><span>•x" is false, then it is not true
let's try x=4
x+x=x</span><span>•x
4+4=4</span>•<span>4
8=16
false
so it is not true
(x+x is equal to 2x, so therefor if we were to solve 2x=x</span><span>•x, we would get that it is only true for x=2 and x=0)
it is not always true
</span>
First you set f(x) and h(x) equal to each other. So 1/x+1=2x+3. Next, you multiply each side by 1 to cancel out the fraction. So now the answer is x+1=2x+3. Now subtract 1 from each side. X=2x+2. Subtract 2x from each side now. -2x=2. Divide by -2x and get the answer x= -1
