Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>To find "x"</u>, we need to <u>isolate it</u>. This means move "x" to the left side, and everything else to the right side.
When moving a number, do its <u>reverse operation</u> to the entire equation.
x + 9 = 2x - 3
x - 2x + 9 = 2x - 2x - 3 Subtract 2x from both sides
-x + 9 = -3
-x + 9 - 9 = -3 - 9 Subtract 9 from both sides
-x = -12
-x/-1 = -12/-1 Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negatives
x = 12 Final answer
Check your answer. Split the equation for the left and right sides. Substitute "x" for the answer "12".
LS: (left side)
x + 9
= 12 + 9 Add
= 21
RS: (right side)
2x - 3
= 2(12) - 3 Multiply before subtracting
= 24 - 3 Subtract
= 21
Both sides equal to 21 when "x" is 12.
LS = RS left side equals right side
Therefore the answer is correct.
Sweet and Sour, as 8 quarts is only 2 gallons, for more than half the price ( if they were equal) than the price if the Lovin' Lemon companies lemonade.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
As a part of city building refurbishment project, architects have constructed a scale model of several city builidings to present to the city commission for approval. The scale of the model is 1 inch = 9 feet.
The model includes a new park in the center of the city. If the dimensions of the park in the model are 9 inches by 17 inches, what are the actual dimensions of the park?
Answer: 81 feet by 153 feet
Step-by-step explanation: <u>Unit</u> <u>Scale</u> is a ratio comparing actual dimensions of an object to the dimensions of model representing the actual object.
In the refurbishment project, the unit scale is given by
1 inch = 9 feet
So, the dimensions of the new park in actual dimensions would be
1 inch = 9 feet
9 inches = x
x = 9.9
x = 81 feet
1 inch = 9 feet
17 inches = y
y = 17.9
y = 153 feet
The actual dimensions of the new park are 81 feet by 153 feet.
I'm pretty sure that it would be 1/2 since it says 1/3 each whole, which in this case it would be 1/3 each hour.
