1 answer:

irinina [24]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

B should have been the winner. Since B received the majority of the votes, he should be the winner, not A, and it doesnt matter how close was the election or how cmany votes A got in reality. If B had more votes for 1st place, then it should be the winner, not A. I am assuming that there were electoral fraud and someone intentionally didnt count valid votes from B.

Solve for x: 3/2+1/2x=2x

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2+1/2x=2x

Multiply each side by 2 to get rid of the fractions

2(3/2+1/2x)=2x*2

3+x = 4x

Subtract x from each side

3+x-x = 4x-x

3 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

3/3 = 3x/3

1 =x

2. Sarah has some blue marbles, twice as many red marbles as blue, and 8 yellow marbles. If she has a total of 32 marbles, how

vovangra [49]

Given:

Number of blue marbles, twice as many red marbles as blue, and 8 yellow marbles.

She has a total of 32 marbles.

To find:

The number of red marbles.

Solution:

Let number of blue marbles be x.

Then, number of red marbles = 2x

Number of yellow marbles = 8

Total number of marbles = 32

$x+2x+8=32$

$3x=32-8$

$3x=24$

$x=8$

Now,

Number of red marbles $=2(8)=16$

Therefore, there are 16 red marbles.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

<u>Cost in US$ = 12 - 16 - 24 - 36 - 40</u>

<u>Number of tickets = 3 - 4 - 6 - 9 - 10</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us for solving the question:

For a high school basketball game, it cost's US$ 12 for every 3 tickets.

It means that every ticket costs US$ 4 (12/3 = 4)

2. Let's complete the table below

<u>Cost in US$ = 12 - 16 - 24 - 36 - 40</u>

<u>Number of tickets = 3 - 4 - 6 - 9 - 10</u>

For US$ 16 = 4 * 4

For US$ 24 = 6 * 4

For US$ 36 = 9 * 4

For US$ 40 = 10 * 4
