<h3>Answer: 6 apples</h3>

x = number of apples originally

50% of x = 0.50*x = amount of apples eaten = 3

0.50x = 3

x = 3/0.50 ....... divide both sides by 0.50

x = 6

You can think of 50% as 1/2. If 3 apples represent half the bag, then the full bag is 6 apples. So half of 6 is 3.

Suppose an ant walks counterclockwise on the unit circle from the point to the endpoint of the radius that forms an angle of rad

serg [7]

Answer:

$\frac{4\pi}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The original questions is suppose an ant walks counterclockwise on a unit circle from the point (1,0) to the endpoint of the radius that forms an angle of 240 degrees with the positive horizontal axis.

To find the distance ant walked we find the arc length of the sector with central angle 240 degree and radius =1 (unit circle)

arc length of a sector = $\frac{centralangle}{360} \cdot 2\pi r$

arc length of a sector = $\frac{240}{360} \cdot 2\pi(1)$

arc length of a sector = $\frac{2}{3} \cdot 2\pi$

$\frac{4\pi}{3}$

Find the side length of triangle.

Llana [10]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the equation:

3x+12=4x+8

12=4x-3x+8

12=x+8

12-8=x

4=x

x=4

The way i got this answer was by solving the equation using the following steps. Since you're solving for one side and have two different equations, put an equal sign in between the two equations to get the equation set up above. Then you need to have the x variable on one side, instead of both sides, so you take 3x and subtract it from both sides, leaving x on one side, because 4x-3x is equal to 1x, or just x. Then we need to have what is not attached to a variable on the other side to make it easier to solve, so you would need to subtract 8 from both sides to get rid of the 8 on the side with the variable, because if you subtract 12 from both sides, it will just make it more confusing to solve, and then 12-8 is equal to 4, so you get x is equal to 4.
