Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
The answer is 6,811.1
The reason the 0 moved up to a 1 is because the number in the hundredth place was 5 or over. If it were 4 or under, then it would have remained a 0.
Answer: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
let a = your present age
a = 2(a+4) - 2(a-4)
a = 2a + 8 - 2a + 8
a = 2a - 2a + 8 + 8
a = 16 yrs is your age
