Saying "a number" is the same as saying "x"
"Three more than a number" is the same as "three more than x"
If you have three more of something (say, marbles) than someone else, then you have their number of marbles plus three more.
Then, "Three more than x" is the same as "three plus x", or "3 + x"
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: $6000
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the cost of the book by the decimal equivalent of 12% (25 x .12). this equal 3 dollars per book. 2,000 copies of the book were sold, so you would multiply 2000 by 3. 2000 x 3 = 6000
Answer:
Solve by adding or subtracting like terms. (Ex. 2k + 4k = 6k; 9 + 7 = 16)
- 6k + 7k = 1k = k
(7 - 6 = 1)
12r - 8 - 12 = 12r - 20
(8 + 12 = 20 but sign is negative) 12r will stay the same because there are no terms with a letter r.
n - 10 + 9n - 3 = 9n + n - 10 - 3 = 10n - 10 - 3 = 10n - 13
(n = 1 so 9 + 1 = 10; 10 + 3 = 13 but negative sign)
- 4x - 10x = 14x
(10 + 4 = 14)
- r - 10r = 11r
(r = 1 so 10 + 1 = 11)
I = Prt
I=1020
r=0.12 (12% converted to decimal by dividing by 100)
t=5
1020=P(0.12)(5)
1020=P(0.6)
P=1700
