Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the peter's number be represented    x

Given that

1. if you subtract 19 from my number

writing it mathematically it will be x -19

2. multiply the difference by -3

it can be written as

since difference is x-19

multiplied the difference with -3

-3(x-19)

3. the result is -21

-3(x-19) = -21

dividing both side by -3

-3(x-19)/-3 = -21/-3

x-19 = 7

adding 19 both sides

x-19 + 19  = 7 + 19

x = 26

Thus, peter's number is 26.

Annie bought 55.56 cubic yards of
Arturiano [62]
She paid $97.23 for the top soil. You just have to multiply 1.75 by 55.56. However, if you wanted to do this without actually solving the problem, it’s a rather easy guess. Since you know 55 times 1 is 55, choose the closest answer to it. Sometimes when it comes to math you don’t actually have to solve the problem, just take an educated guess. :)

Clare has a set of cubes with a volume of 1 cm³ each. She also has a box with a volume of 24 cm³. Exactly two layers of cubes ca
Damm [24]

Answer:

12 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total volume of the box is 24 cm³ and the volume of each cube is 1 cm³ then that means that 24 total cubes can fit perfectly inside the box. Since there can only be two layers of cubes then we simply need to divide the total amount of cubes that will fit in the box by 2 to find the number of cubes in each layer...

24 / 2 = 12 cubes

Finally, we can see that each layer within the box will contain 12 cubes
