Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let that number be
. We can build an equation, and solve for
.
less than half of
is
.
more than
is
.
We are given that the two quantities are equal, so we have that
.
Adding
to both sides gives
.
Multiplying both sides by
gives
.
Subtracting
from both sides gives
.
Multiplying both sides by
gives
.
So, the number is
and we're done!
The check is left as an exercise to the reader.
Answer:
21 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the distances is the same, so we have ...
5x +4 = 15x -30
34 = 10x
3.4 = x
Then the distances are ...
5(3.4) +4 = 21 . . . . miles
Bert and Ernie each live 21 miles from Big Bird's nest.
Answer: 7 & 10
Step-by-step explanation:
7+10=17
10-7=3
First off, let's convert the percentages to decimal format, so our 77% turns to 77/100 or 0.77, and our 55% turns to 55/100 or 0.55 and so on
now, the sum of both salines, must add up to the 77% mixture, let's say is "y"
so, 11 + 4 = y, and whatever the concentration level is, must also sum up to the mixture's concentration of 77%
anyway thus

solve for "x"
Your answer to this problem is 15
10 + 2 - 15 / 3 = 7
Hope it helped :)
