Zair has 48 marbles in his pocket. He has 3 more blues than the
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

# yellow = 20

# blue = 23

# red = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'r' = # red marbles

let '4r' = # yellow marbles

let '3+4r' = # blue marbles

r + 4r + 3 + 4r = 48

9r + 3 = 48

9r = 45

r = 5

red = 5

yellow = 4(5) = 20

blue = 3+4(5) = 23

One half times (four plus eight)
liraira [26]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

one half times (four plus eight)

Writing mathematically

1½ ( 4+8)

Using BODMAS

we'll take the bracket first

1½ × 12

Change 1½ to improper fraction = 3/2

3/2 × 12 = 3×6

= 18

The width w of a rectangular swimming pool is 7x2. The area A of the pool is 7x3 – 42x2. What is an expression for the length of
Sloan [31]
A = length · width

7x3 - 42x2 = L(7x2) Factor left side
7x2(x - 6) = L(7x2) Divide both sides by 7x2
x - 6 = L

The length of the pool is x - 6.

Note: Length is always longer than width. Although the algebra is correct, it is doubtful that x - 6 is greater than 7x2.
