To solve 10x-35+3ax=5ax-7a, we'll need to assume that a is a constant and that we are to solve for the variable x. To accomplish this, group all the x terms together on one side and all of the no-x terms on the other:
10x + 3ax - 5ax = -7a + 35
Factoring x out of the left side, we get:
x(10 - 2a) = 7(5 - a). Dividing both sides by (10 - 2a), we get:
7(5 - a)
x = ------------ = 7/2
2(5 - a)
x has the value 7/2.
Let's say the width is (x) and the width is (x+12). The formula for a perimeter of a rectangle equals 2w + 2l, which would then for this problem be 100=2(x) + 2(x+12) which would distribute as 2x + 2x + 12 which equals 4x+12. When you subtract twelve from 100 you get 88=4x. Divide 88 by 4 and you get x=22. This then would mean the width is 22 and the length is 34. The formula for an area of a rectangle is w*l. Plug in the numbers that you figure out from the area formula and you get 22x34=748
Let x be the number of peanuts originally in the bag.
24/x = 75/100
24 = .75x
x = 32
There were 32 peanuts originally in the bag
