Answer:
x = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 9 = 153
subtract 9 from both sides -9 -9
3x = 144
divide both sides by 3 3x/3 = 144/3
2x + (x + 9) = 153
2(48) + (48 + 9) = 153
96 + 57 = 153
153 = 153
A, X=6(x-2) as his age take away 2 (his age two years ago) then multiplied by 6 will equal his current age.
The answer is D (the last answer choice)
9x-4/x=3 ok first lets get the like terms together! So 9x+1x=10x rewrite 10x-4=3 add 4 to both sides 10x=7 then divide 10 7/10=.7 x=.7
Or you can do it this way
9x-4/x=3 combine like terms so times -4 to both sides 3*-4=-12 rewrite 9x+x=-12 combine like term (still got some) 9x+1x=10x rewrite 10x=-12 divide 10 to both sides -12/10=-1.2 rewrite x=-1.2 (I'm like 95% sure it's this one) hope this helps!!! Have a nice nite (Don't be afraid to ask me about details on this or another question)!!!
Answer:
She uses 243 beads for the 5th string.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we can see a pattern. If she triples the number of beads in each of the next strings, that means that we just take the last number and multiply by 3. If the first string uses 3, then:
The second uses 9, 3 * 3 = 9
The third uses 27, 9 * 3 = 27
The fourth uses 81, 27 * 3 = 81
And the 5th uses 243, 81 * 3 = 243.
