You can multiply 16 times what equls 88 and then divide by 4 much more simple than it sounds and also your in high school and u cant solve this problem
The answer is A because The Commutative Property of Addition states that no matter how the problem is structured you would still get the same answer and answer A expresses that
Answer:
in scientific notation = 2.58 × 10⁵
I hope I helped you^_^
Let the first number be = x
Then the second number = 2x
The third number = 2x - 5
Their sum = 55
This can be written in an equation as =
x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55
= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )
= x + 2x + 2x = 60
= 5x = 60
= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )
= x = 12
The first number = x = 12
The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24
The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19
Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .
Answer: A. 20 is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
x+40 = 3x
or, 40 = 3x-x
or, 2x = 40
or, x = 40/2
so, x = 20
