Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+2)-x=38
Distribute
3x+6 -x = 38
Combine like terms
2x+6 = 38
Subtract 6 from each side
2x+6-6 = 38-6
2x = 32
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 = 32/2
x = 16
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

Answer:
B. 2 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, put the two perimeters together to form a fraction.
192/48, which can simplify to 4/1
Now, following the order in which you put the perimeters (I used C/D,) set it equal to the sides.
Now, cross multiply. (multiply 1 and 8, 4 and x.)
Now, solve.
x=2 inches.
Y-int, x=0
y = 2(0) therefore y-int is (0,0)
x-int, y=0
0=2x
x = 0 therefore x-int is (0,0)
Ratio of children, adults and pensioners is 1 : 2 : 8/3 = 3 : 6 : 8.
Let, 3x is number of children.
So, 6x is number of adults and 8x is number of pensioners.
Now,
3x + 6x + 8x = 85
17x = 85
x = 5
Therefore, number of pensioners are 8×5 = 40.
Hence, this is the required solution.
