This means that if the model is 1 in lengh then th ereal car is 20 times of that or 20 in legnth

so to find the answer, just multiply model by 20
8.7 =model
real=8.7 times 20=174
real car is 174 inches

12 inches=1 foot
conversion factor
1 ft/12in=1=convesion

so
174 times 1/12=14 and 6/12

the answer is 14 feet and 6 inches or 14.5 feet

Then you cross multiply by going 8.7*20 and 1*x

174=x

The actual car is 174 inches or 14.5 feet

When three times the sum of a number and seven is increased by ten, the result is four. What is the number ?
densk [106]

Answer:

x=9   :))

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up your equation.

"3 times" is multiplication

"THE SUM of A NUMBER and seven" that is parenthesis because of the multiplication before it

"is increased by ten" that is an addition at the end

Now we have 3(x+7)+10=4

Solve your equation!

Distribute the 3 now we have 3x+21+10=4

Add like terms

now it should look like this... 3x+31=4

Subtract 31 from both sides and it looks like...

3x=27

Divide by the x-value

x=9
