Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of orange jelly beans be x , as we do not know the exact value of it yet. There are 12 times as many green jelly beans than the orange ones. So , if the number of orange jelly beans is x , the number of green jelly beans will be = 12 times x , which can be written as 12x. Now there are a total of 1872 jelly beans , but they are either orange or green , so we already know that the number of orange jbs is x , and the number of green jelly beans is 12x. So if we the green jelly beans and orange jelly beans , it should be 1872.
Now all we need to do is to find x.
We know that ,
x + 12x = 1872
Now we add x and 12x on the left hand side
13x = 1872
Now we divide both sides by 13 to get x. (That includes 1872 as well)
x = 144
Now we have the value of x which is 144
We know that the number of green jelly beans was 12 times x
So the number of green jelly beans in numeric value is : 12 * 144
As x is equal to 144
Ans . : The number of green jelly beans is 1728.

Answer: girls=20, sister=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the girl's sister's age (present)
Let 2x= the girl's age (present)
-------------------------------------------------------------
According to the question
(x+5)(2x+5)=375
Expand parentheses by FOIL (First Outer Inner Last)
2x²+5x+10x+25=375
Combine like term (5x and 10x)
2x²+15x+25=375
Subtract 375 on both sides
2x²+15x+25-375=375-375
2x²+15x-350=0
Find the factors (cross factor)
(x-10)(x+17.5)=0
x=10 or x=-17.5 (rej) ⇔ the age can't be negative
the girl's age is 20, and her sister's age is 10.
60% = 0.60
Let x = total games played.
12 = 0.60x. Divide each side by 0.60.
20 = x.
The Hawks have played 20 total games this season
