1/2 x = 20
x = 2 x 20 = 40
Answer:
262 books sold
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a very vague word problem, but if it truly is just asking the amount of books sold (regardless of music or science), here's how to get the answer:
1. 287+134=421 - first you want to add together the two types of books to get the total amount of books in the store
2. 421-x=159 - create an equation and solve.
3. -x=-262 - follow order of operations and subtract 421 on both sides in order to isolate the variable
4. x=262 - divide each side by -1 to make the variable positive.
If you'd like an easier way, you can just:
1. 421-159=262 - it's easier, but my math teacher would count us wrong if we didn't do equations a specific way. Good luck!
When you are rounding numbers, if the integer to the right is <5, then you keep your rounding number. If it is >5, then you add 1 place value to your rounding number.
Therefore, if you are trying to round 4.125 to the nearest whole number, you are trying to round it to the ones place, or where the 4 is.
Because 1<5, 4.125 rounded to the nearest whole number is 4.
Answer:
11 17/21
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The length of BC = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
15^2 = 9^2 + b^2
225 = 81 + b^2
b^2 = 225 - 81
b^2 = 144
b = 12
The length of BC is 12
