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: x = - 52

expand

5x+20−3=4.5x−9

then simplify

5x+17=4.5x−9

then subtract 4.5 from each sides

5x+17−4.5x=−9

Simplify  

0.5x+17=−9

then subtract 17 from both sides

0.5x=−9−17

then simplify

0.5x=−2

then divide both side by 0.5

-26/0.5

so x = - 52

The ages of three siblings are all consecutive
ankoles [38]

Answer:

12 year old is the youngest sibling

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The ages of three siblings are all consecutive integers.

           The sum of sibling´s age is 39.

Now, finding the age of youngest sibling.

Lets assume the age of youngest sibling be "x"

As given, The ages of three siblings are all consecutive integers.

∴ Age of 2nd sibling will be (x+1)

 Age of 3rd sibling will be (x+2)

next, forming an equation for the sum of sibling´s age.

⇒x+(x+1)+(x+2)= 39

Opening the parenthesis

⇒ x+x+1+x+2= 39

⇒3x+3= 39

Subtracting both side by 3

⇒3x= 39-3

⇒3x= 36

Dividing both side by 3

⇒x= \frac{36}{3}

∴ x= 12

Subtituting the value of x to find the age of other sibling

∴Youngest sibling age= 12 years

2nd sibling age= 13 years

3rd sibling age= 14 years

Hence, The youngest sibling is 12 years old.

What is an equation that relates weight on earth and weight on the moom
stellarik [79]
W=mg 

<span>Where: </span>

<span>Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity </span>

<span>So let's say I want to work out my weight on the moon. I know I weigh about 70kg (which would be N), but I can't use that figure for the calculation on the moon. That is what I weigh on Earth, so let's look at the equation... </span>

<span>70kg = mass * 9.81m/s^2 </span>

<span>Where 9.81m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface on the earth. I want to get rid of that, so let's work out my mass by division; </span>

<span>70/9.81 = 7.14kg </span>

<span>I googled the acceleration of gravity on the Moon, which was = 1.6m/s^2 </span>

<span>Let's use that in the same equation W=mg </span>

<span>W = 7.14kg * 1.6m/s^2 = 11.42N

</span><span>On the Moon, you would weigh approximately one sixth of your weight on Earth, so if your bathroom scales tell you you weigh 120 pounds, there you would weigh 20 pounds.
</span>
<span>Moon`s gravitational pull is about one-sixth to the gravitational pull on earth hence weight on moon is about one-sixth of the weight on earth.</span>
