Answer:

\dfrac{x}{4}

C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a picnic,

Number of adults is 3 times as number of children.

Number of women is twice as number of men.

Total number of men, women and children at the picnic be x

Let number of children be c

Let number of men be m

Let number of women be w

# Number of women is twice as number of men, w = 2m

# Number of adults is 3 times as number of children, w + m = 3c

      2m + m = 3c     (∴  w=2m )

                c = m

Total number of men, women and children at the picnic be x

∵       c + m + w = x

     m + m + 2m = x

                    4m = x

Number of men, m=\dfrac{x}{4}

Hence, The total number of men will be  \dfrac{x}{4}

What is 9x + 18 = 6y - 3x for y ​
Nana76 [90]

Answer: 2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+18=6y-3x Our goal is to isolate y.

Let's add 3x to both sides of the equation to cancel out that -3x on the right side.

12x+18=6y Because all of these integers are divisible by the gcf of 6, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6.

2x+3=y

(SAT Prep) Find the value of x.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: x=40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are congruent (I think it’s called the interior angle proof) so the bottom right angle is also 65°. All angles in a Triangle equal 180°, so 180-(75+65)=40

Write an algebraic expression for 84 more than the product of 167 and b
Ket [755]

Answer:

  167b + 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication is indicated between a number and a variable by writing them next to each other. A "product" is the result of multiplication, so "the product of 167 and b" is written 167b.

If you want a value that is 84 more than that, you get it by adding 84.

  167b + 84

Mia has n pairs of earrings. She receives 3 more pairs of earrings. Which expression represents the number of earrings Mia has n
kvv77 [185]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The expression that would represent the number of earrings Mia has now would be n+3. It should be the sum of n earrings she originally had and the additional 3 earrings. Hope this answers the question.

So im really confused by this and could use some help.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Nancy fits the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think they're asking which gorilla fits the equation.

2b - 15 = 605

<em>Add 15 to both sides</em>

2b=620

<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>

b=310

The only gorilla who weighs 310 pounds is Nancy.
