"Twice the sum of a number is 9 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 7" is our problem. Let's translate it into an equation.

Twice                                      2 times

the sum of a number           x +

and 9                                    9

is equal to                              =

three times                           3 times

the difference of a number x-

and 7                                      7


We move top down on the right side and make the equation. Then we solve it for x

2x + 9 = 3x - 7                           our equation

-x + 9 = -7                                    subtract 3x on both sides

-x = -16                                      subtract 16 on both sides

x = 16                                         divide both sides by -1


Thus the mystery number is 16.

First, write put the information into an equation

2*(x+9) = 3*(x-7)

distribute the 2 and 3
2x + 18 = 3x - 21

Combine like terms (Xs and munbers) (in this case, it's easier to add 15 to both sides and subtract 2x from both sides so both sides end up being positive)
33 = x

x=33

At a bake sale there were 90 items sold total. If 42 of the items sold were cookies and the rest were brownies what is the ratio
kari74 [83]
Firstly, you do 90 - 42 to get the amount of brownies sold, which is 48. Then, you put 42 and 48 into a ratio like 42:48. After that, all you need to do is simplify to get 7:8.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Since Her goal is to earn $ 300 , but now she is earning only $270 ,Hence Celia will not achieve her goal  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The cost of each calendar = $ 9

The number of calendar sold to the family = 16

The number of calendar sold to the neighborhood = 14

So, Total number of calendar sold by Celia = The number of calendar sold to the family + The number of calendar sold to the neighborhood

i.e Total number of calendar sold by Celia = 16 + 14 = 30

∵ The cost of each calendar = $ 9

∴ The cost of 30 calendar = $ 9 × 30 = $ 270

Since Her goal is to earn $ 300 , but now she is earning only $270 ,Hence Celia will not achieve her goal  .  Answer
