Five less than three of a number equals ten.
3X-5=10
Add 5 to both sides, so you get 3X=15
Divide by 3 on both sides.
X=5

The answer is 5

5 less than 3 times a number (5) equals 10
3 x 5 = 15
5 - 15 = 10

Answer:

$27.59

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 30 dollars by 0.85 (1-0.15, with the 0.15 being for the 15 percent off). Which gets you to $25.50, and you then multiply it by 1.082 (the 1.082 being the tax, and the .082 part equating to the 8.2% tax percentage).

Answer:

52.9 inches .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangular indentation has an area of 100 in.² and the base and height of this traingle are represented by expressions 3x and x+3 respectively . We need to find out the perimeter to the nearest tenth.

As we know that the area of triangle is ,

$\rm\longrightarrow Area_{\triangle}=\dfrac{1}{2}(base)(height)$

Substituting the respective values,

$\rm\longrightarrow 100\ =\dfrac{1}{2}(x+3)(3x)\\\\\rm\longrightarrow 2(100) = 3x(x+3)\\\\\rm\longrightarrow200 = 3x^2+9x\\\\\rm\longrightarrow 3x^2+9x-200=0$

On using the Quadratic formula , we have;

$\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm\sqrt{9^2-4(3)(-200)}}{2(3)} \\\\\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm \sqrt{81+1200}}{6}\\\\\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm \sqrt{1281}}{6}$
