1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.
2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.

Answer:
the area of a square piece of garden is 9409cm what is the premiter of a garden
Answer:
The sequence is arithmetic
we know that
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same and is called common difference
In this problem we have
3,9,15,21,...
Let
a1=3, a2=9,a3=15,a4=21
a4-a3=21-15=6
a3-a2=15-9=6
a2-a1=9-3=6
The sequence is arithmetic
The common difference is equal to
A triangle undergoes a sequence of transformations.
First, the triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 1/3 about the origin. Then the triangle is reflected over the x-axis. Finally, the triangle is translated left 3 units and up 2 units.
