jeyben [28]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

15 (x - 20) - 21 = 6 - 3 (x + 1)

Hint: | Distribute 15 over x - 20.

15 (x - 20) = 15 x - 300:

15 x - 300 - 21 = 6 - 3 (x + 1)

Hint: | Group like terms in 15 x - 300 - 21.

Grouping like terms, 15 x - 300 - 21 = 15 x + (-300 - 21):

15 x + (-300 - 21) = 6 - 3 (x + 1)

Hint: | Evaluate -300 - 21.

-300 - 21 = -321:

15 x + -321 = 6 - 3 (x + 1)

Hint: | Distribute -3 over x + 1.

-3 (x + 1) = -3 x - 3:

15 x - 321 = -3 x - 3 + 6

Hint: | Group like terms in -3 x - 3 + 6.

Grouping like terms, -3 x - 3 + 6 = (6 - 3) - 3 x:

15 x - 321 = (6 - 3) - 3 x

Hint: | Evaluate 6 - 3.

6 - 3 = 3:

15 x - 321 = 3 - 3 x

Hint: | Move terms with x to the left hand side.

Add 3 x to both sides:

15 x + 3 x - 321 = (3 x - 3 x) + 3

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

3 x - 3 x = 0:

15 x + 3 x - 321 = 3

Hint: | Group like terms in 15 x + 3 x - 321.

Grouping like terms, 15 x + 3 x - 321 = (15 x + 3 x) - 321:

(15 x + 3 x) - 321 = 3

Hint: | Add like terms in 15 x + 3 x.

15 x + 3 x = 18 x:

18 x - 321 = 3

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Add 321 to both sides:

18 x + (321 - 321) = 321 + 3

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

321 - 321 = 0:

18 x = 3 + 321

Hint: | Evaluate 3 + 321.

3 + 321 = 324:

18 x = 324

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 18 x = 324 by 18:

(18 x)/18 = 324/18

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

18/18 = 1:

x = 324/18

Hint: | Reduce 324/18 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 324 and 18.

The gcd of 324 and 18 is 18, so 324/18 = (18×18)/(18×1) = 18/18×18 = 18:

Answer: x = 18

A survey of the readers of three daily news papers; Nation, standard and Kenya times showed the following results. i) A total of
daser333 [38]
N(N ∩ S ∩ K) = 10
n(ξ) = 250
n(S ∪ K) = 15 - 10 = 5
n(N ∪ S) = 20 - 10 = 10
n(N ∪ K) = 30 - 10 = 20
n(S) = 50 - 10 - 5 - 10 = 25
n(K) = 55 - 20 - 5 - 10 = 20
n(N) = 100 - 10 - 20 - 10 = 60

n(N ∪ S ∪ K) = 10 + 5 + 10 + 20 + 25 + 20 + 60 = 150

Therefore, n(N ∪ S ∪ K)' = 250 - 150 = 100

Therefore, 100 million people do not read any of the three papers.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to answer this question:

64 represent the 100% of the games

so:

x : 100 = 16 : 64

x = (16*100)/64 = 1600/64 = 25%

I need help on 6 please! I’m pretty sure it’s 9, correct me if I’m wrong
Finger [1]

Answer:60


Step-by-step explanation:

3 ways to pick the meat,

4 ways to pick the eggs,

5 ways to pick the cereal.

For each of the 3 meats you can pick any of the 4 egg dishes, so 12 ways to pick a meat and an egg dish.

For each of those 12 you can pick any of the 5 cereals, so 60 ways to pick the meal.
