Raul has 56 bouncy balls
he puts the balls into red gift bags and green gift bags
so lets say he puts x number of balls into green gift bags
then we are told that he puts three times as many balls into red gift bags as he puts into green gift bags
so the number of balls he puts into red gift bags is - 3 * x = 3x
the total number of balls = 56
so we can write the following equation
x + 3x = 56
4x = 56
x = 56/4
x = 14
therefore the amount of balls he puts into green bags is - 14 balls
Answer:
An independent clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a predicate. It expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence. It can also be joined to other dependent or independent clauses to make a more interesting and complex sentence.Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x + 28) + (5x + 52) + ( 2x - 10) = 180
(3x + 5x + 2x) + (28 + 52 - 10) = 180
10x + 70 = 180
10x = 180 - 70
10x = 110
x = 11
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given as:
first term = -15
common difference = -6 - (-15) = 9
number of terms
substituting into the formula , we have :
First, lets convert them into multipliers:
The multiplier for a:
25% increase = 1.25
40% decrease = 0.6
40% increase = 1.4
Now to work out the overall percentage change, we just times all of the multipliers together, and convert it back to a percentage:
1.25 x 0.6 x 1.4 = 1.05
So the overall multiplier is 1.05
And a multiplier of 1.05 = a <u>5% increase</u>.
That means that the percentage change is + 5%
