60, I think this is the right answer !
I assume you're looking for the number:
0.5n + 9 = 21
- 9
0.5n = 12
÷ 0.5
n = 24
So the beginning number is 24, hope this helps!
Answer:
x = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 3 - 6x = 12
group like terms
3x - 6x - 3 = 12
add similar elements
- 3x - 3 = 12
add 3 to both sides
- 3x - 3 + 3 = 12 + 3
simplify
- 3x = 15
divide both sides by 3
- 3x / 5 = 15 / - 3
simplify
x = - 5
It’s d cuz it has 14 of them
