</span>Sequences VariablesA variable is a symbol that represents a number. Usually we use letters such as n, t, or x for variables. For example, we might say that s stands for the side-length of a square. We now treat s as if it were a number we could use. The perimeter of the square is given by 4 × s. The area of the square is given by s× s. When working with variables, it can be helpful to use a letter that will remind you of what the variable stands for: let n be the number of people in a movie theater; let t be the time it takes to travel somewhere; let d be the distance from my house to the park. ExpressionsAn expression is a mathematical statement that may use numbers, variables, or both.Example:The following are examples of expressions:2x3 + 72 × y + 52 + 6 × (4 - 2)z + 3 × (8 - z<span>)</span></span>
Answer: x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5(x+4)-3=(x-2)
1.5x+6)-3=4.5x-9
1.5x+3=4.5x-9
+9 +9
1.5x+12=4.5x
divide 1.5x and 4.5
12=3x
/3 /3
x=4
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
if 3x3 is 9 and 4x3 is 12 then 5x3 is 15
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Feom the question, we are informed that students are making ornaments and each takes 1/2 of a piece of Bristol board and that they go to the cupboard and find 1 1/2 pieces of Bristol board.
The number of ornaments that they can make will be calculated by dividing 1 1/2 by 1/2. This will be:
= 1 1/2 ÷ 1/2
= 3/2 ÷ 1/2
= 3/2 × 2/1
= 3
They can make 3 ornaments
B) c - 1/5c - 40 = 120
c- (original cost) - 1/5c (sale) - 40(coupon)= 120(final cost)
Hope that helps! :)
