12 = 2/3(x - 3)

<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>

12 = 2/3x - 2

<em><u>Add 2 to both sides.</u></em>

14 = 2/3x

<em><u>Multiply both sides by 3.</u></em>

42 = 2x

<em><u>Divide both sides by 2.</u></em>

21 = x

The value of x is equal to 21.

How do I find the radius of a circle
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Just remember to divide the diameter by two to get the radius. If you were asked to find the radius instead of the diameter, you would simply divide 7 feet by 2 because the radius is one-half the measure of the diameter. The radius of the circle is 3.5 feet. You can also use the circumference and radius equation.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

<h2>0.15 inches per month</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

This problem is focused on the growth rate of a plant.

given data

the plants grow 5 inches in 34 months

and also that 1 month= 4 weeks

step two:

We can still say that

if 34 months see a growth of 5 inches

then 1 months will be X inches

cross multiply we have

X= 5/32 inches

step three:

converting this number to decimal we have

X= 0.15 inches per month

Therefore the growth rate would be

0.15 inches per month

- One night a theater sold 548 movie tickets. An adult's ticket costs $6.50 and a child's ticket cost $3.50.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X= each ticket for adults and Y= each ticket for kids

x+y=548

6.50x+3.50y=2881

subtract x from each side leaving you with y= -x+548

Plug in for Y

6.50x+3.50(-x+548)=2881

6.50x - 3.50x + 1918= 2881

3x+1918=2881 ....subtract

3x=963 .....divide by 3

X= 321 tickets for adults

321+y=548 ...subtract 321

Y=227 childrens tickets

Factor: −22d³+33d²+33
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

-2d^3 +3d^2 +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The biggest number you can take out of each term would be 11, so you divide each term individually by 11.

-22/11= -2

33/11=3

33/11=3

Then you keep the variables the same because you don't have a d in every term, therefore you cannot remove a d.
