Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect terms:

-3x -3 = 12

Divide by -3:

x +1 = -4

Subtract 1:

x = -5

_____

The more conventional solution method would be to save the division by -3 until the end. The second step could be to add 3 to both sides. Then you would have ...

-3x = 15

and dividing by -3 would give the same answer.

Answer:

x = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 3 - 6x = 12

group like terms

3x - 6x - 3 = 12

add similar elements

- 3x - 3 = 12

add 3 to both sides

- 3x - 3 + 3 = 12 + 3

simplify

- 3x = 15

divide both sides by 3

- 3x / 5 = 15 / - 3

simplify

x = - 5

Since we are asked to find the rate of change from Monday to Wednesday, we are dividing by 2, since Monday is day 1 and Wednesday is day 3. 3 - 1 = 2.

1800 + 500 = 2300 calories consumed Tuesday.

2300 - 100 = 2200 calories Wednesday.

(2200 - 1800)/2 = 400/2 = 200 calories

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't really clear but let me help.

For Maths test,

Point earned = 30

Total point = 43

Percentage = 30/43 × 100 = 69.77%

Social studies test

Point earned = 85.

Total point = 124

Percentage = 85/124 × 100 = 68.55%

From the above, we can see that Jake scored a higher percentage in the Maths test.

32 people volunteers to donate blood. n dident have he health requirment so they couldent donate the rest of the volunteers dona

Vesna [10]

Answer:

the equation representing total amount of blood donated is $470(32-n)=15040-470n \ ml$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of volunteers = 32

number of volunteers couldn't donate blood = $n$ .

So Number of volunteers who donated blood can be calculated by subtracting number of volunteers couldn't donate blood from Total number of volunteers.

Framing in equation form we get;

So, the number of remaining volunteers who donated blood = $32-n$ .

Each of these volunteers donated blood = 470 ml

Now Total Amount of Blood donated is equal to Amount each of these volunteers donated blood times the number of volunteers who donated blood.

Framing in the equation form we get;

total amount of blood donated milliliters = $470(32-n)=15040-470n \ ml$

Hence the equation representing total amount of blood donated is $470(32-n)=15040-470n \ ml$ .
