Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify. First, combine like terms:

3x - x + 2 = 12

(3x - x) + 2 = 12

(2x) + 2 = 12

2x + 2 = 12

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS =

& is your order of operation.

First, subtract 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 (-2) = 12 (-2)

2x = 12 - 2

2x = 10

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2x)/2 = (10)/2

x = 10/2

x = 5

5 is your answer for x.

Check: Plug in 5 for x in the equation. Solve:

3(5) - (5) + 2 = 12

15 - 5 + 2 = 12

10 + 2 = 12

12 = 12 (True)

A book with 650 pages has 3 pages with diagrams.
Mrac [35]

The pages that have diagrams is an illustration of proportions

0.46% pages have diagrams

<h3>How to determine the percentage</h3>

The given parameters are:

Total = 650 pages

Diagrams = 3 pages

The percentage of page that has diagram is then calculated as:

Diagram\% = \frac{Diagrams}{Total} * 100\%

So, we have:

Diagram\% = \frac{3}{650} * 100\%

Evaluate the product

Diagram\% = \frac{300}{650} \%

Divide

Diagram\% = 0.46 \%

Hence, 0.46% pages have diagrams

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

450,000 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

to round off to the nearest hundred thousand, look at thousand figure - If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero

to be rounded off to 500,000, it means that the thousand figure has to be between 50,000 - 99,000

the least figure would thus be 450,000
