Answer:
6x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find 2 sides added together, so we do (24x-20)/2=12x-10. (12x-10)/2=6x-5, so it is 6x-5.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number = x
Let the second number = x + 9
Let the third number = 4x
Together they make 123
x + x + 9 + 4x = 123 combine the left
6x + 9 = 123 Subtract 9 from both sides
6x = 123 - 9
6x = 114 Divide by 6
x = 114/6
x = 19
=================
First number = 19
Second number = 19 + 9 = 28
Third number = 4*19 = 76
From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75
Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88
so we form an equation:
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
3x + 2.25 = 5.88
3x = 5.88 - 2.25
3x = 3.63
x = 3.63 / 3
x = 1.21
Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars
It would be negative 5 since it is going down.
To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.
First we find the number of pennies.
40% of 220 =
= 40% * 220
= 0.4 * 220
= 88
88 coins are pennies.
220 - 88 = 132
132 coins are not pennies.
Now we find 25% of 132.
25% of 132 =
= 25% * 132
= 0.25 * 132
= 33
33 coins are partners.
(Did you mean quarters instead of partners?)
