Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-5)+6x = 3x-15+7x

3x-15+7x = 65

10x = 80

x = 8

To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

3(x - 5) + 7x = 65      Distribute 3 into (x - 5)

(3)x + (3)(-5) + 7x = 65

3x - 15 + 7x = 65     Combine like terms(terms that have the same variable and power/exponent), or combine 3x and 7x

10x - 15 = 65    Add 15 on both sides

10x - 15 + 15 = 65 + 15

10x = 80    Divide 10 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{10x}{10} =\frac{80}{10}

x = 8

PROOF

3(x - 5) + 7x = 65     Substitute/plug in 8 into "x" since x = 8

3(8 - 5) + 7(8) = 65

3(3) + 56 = 65

9 + 56 = 65

65 = 65

At a university, 60​% of the students who apply. Of the students the university​ accepts, 25% actually enroll If 2000 students​
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

300 students are enrolled.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the university accepts 60% of the students who apply.

As 2000 students apply, it means that:

2000 × 60% ⇒ 2000 × 0.6 = 1200 students are accepted

Out of these 1200, 25% enrolled

1200 × 25% ⇒ 1200 × 0.25 = 300 students are enrolled

Therefore, 300 students are enrolled.

A rectangles length is 1.5 times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is four more than 3 times the length. What are the di
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

  8 by 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is 1.5w. The perimeter is 4 more than 3 times this, so is (3(1.5w) +4) = 4.5w+4

The perimeter is given by the formula ...

  P = 2(length + width)

Filling in the given values for the variables, we have ...

  4.5w +4 = 2(w +1.5w)

  4 = 0.5w . . . . . . subtract 4.5w and collect terms

  8 = w . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

  length = 1.5×8 = 12

The rectangle is 8 units wide and 12 units long. The perimeter is 40 units.
