Answer:

The equation would be 4x-15=21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total Number of Video games = 21

Let the number of video game Nicholas has be 'x'.

Now Given:

Robert has 5 fewer games than Nicholas.

so we can say that;

number of video game Robert has = x-5

Also Given:

Charlie has twice as many games as Robert.

so we can say that;

number of video game Charlie has = 2(x-5)=2x-10

we need to write the equation.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

Total Number of Video games is equal to sum of number of video game Nicholas has, number of video game Robert has and number of video game Charlie has.

framing the equation we get;

x+x-5+2x-10=21\\\\4x-15=21

Hence The equation would be 4x-15=21.

On Solving we get;

Adding both side by 15 we get;

4x-15+15=21+15\\\\4x=36

Dividing both side by 4 we get;

\frac{3x}{4}=\frac{36}{4}\\\\x=9

Hence Nicholas has = 9 video games

Robert has = x-5= 9-5=4 video games

Charlie has = 2x-10 = 2\times9-10=18-10=8 video games

Answer:

The equation would be  4x-15=21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Three brothers Charlie Robert and Nicholas have 21 video games Charlie has twice as many games as Robert. Robert has 5 fewer games than Nicholas.

Now, to find the equation.

Let the games Nicholas has be x.

Robert has games x-5.

And Charlie has 2(x-5).

Now, the equation is:

(x)+(x-5)+2(x-5)=21.

x+x-5+2x-10=21\\2x-5+2x-10=21\\4x-15=21

4x-15=21.

Therefore, the equation would be 4x-15=21.

Help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee
TEA [102]

Answer:

54m2

Step-by-step explanation:

Cut the shape into two - from the 9m length. One has 3m by 8m(ie 5m + 3m) dimensions, and the other 6m(ie 9m - 3m) by 5m dimensions.

Taking area of first one=24m2,then area of the second =30m2.

To get area of whole shape, we add both areas=54m2

NB:Area=l×b

Solve for x. Help me out because I haven’t been paying attention all year
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) =  (whole secant) x (external part)

(6+x)6 = (8+10)* 8

6*(6+x) = 8(18)

Divide each side by 6

6+x = 8(18)/6

6+x = 8*3

6+x = 24

Subtract 6 from each side

6+x-6 =24-6

x = 18
