Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
geraldo has 9 marbles and yan has 12
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (x-3) = 21
x + x - 3 = 21
2 x - 3 = 21
Explanation:
In this problem, let us first analyze the situation. It says here that Geraldo and Yan both had marbles of their own. The problem states that together, they have a total of 21 marbles. However, we know here from the problem that they have different number of marbles each. Geraldo seems to have lesser number of marbles than Yan. Yan have three marbles more than Geraldo.
We can write the equation starting from assigning the unknown.
We'll use x.
x is the number of marbles that Yan have.
if x is Yan's, then, we can say that x-3 is Geraldo's.
Put them together into the equation.
Yan's plus Geraldo's is equal to 21.
Substitute using the represented unknowns.
x + (x-3) = 21.
In solving, we can also rule out that:
x + x - 3 = 21
2 x - 3 = 21
2 x = 21 + 3
2 x = 24
x = 12
x - 3 = 9
Yan has 12 marbles
and Geraldo has 9 marbles.
Answer:
x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3x-2
g(x) = 2x + 1
(f-g)(x) = 3x-2 - (2x+1)
Distribute the minus sign
=3x-2-2x-1
Combine like terms
= 3x-2x-2-1
=x-3
Answer:
50%
Step-by-step explanation:
10 kg of mixed nuts that contain 60% peanuts
60(10)
plus
15 kg of a different brand of mixed nuts. with x% peanuts
x(15)
=
That makes 25 kg with 54% peanuts
54(25)
--------------------------
Equation
60(10) + x(15) = 54(25)
600 + 15x = 1350
Subtract 600 from both sides
15x = 750
Diviede both sides by 15
x = 50
50%
