We can also say this in another way ... (8% of what number is 12?)
let a be the number of which 8 % is 12 ....
<span>8/100 x a =12 </span>
<span>a=12 x 100/8 </span>
<span>a=(6/4) x 100 </span>
<span>a=(3/2) X 100
a = 150 </span>
<span>now if u want to check your answer.. substitute the value of a .....</span>
<span>(8/100) x 150=12 ....
Hope it helps !!!</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 56 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Adam's age be
, since the father is 3 times as old as him , then the father will be
.
Two years ago
Adam = 
Father = 
since Adam was 15 years old 2 years ago , this means that

add 2 to both sides

Therefore , Adam is presently 17 years old , then the father will be 3(17) years , which means that the father is presently 51 years old.
In 5 years time , the father will be 51 + 5 years old. That is , the father will be 56 years old in 5 years time
Hi there!
Th' Eqn. is :-
4 (x - 3) = 2 (3x + 1)
=> 4x - 12 = 2 (3x + 1)
=> 4x - 12 = 6x + 2
Combine th' like terms :-
=> 4x - 6x = 2 + 12
=> - 2x = 14
=> x =

=> x = - 7
Hence, The required answer is : x = - 7
