We solve the as follows:
<span>1. Solve proportion 12/15 = 18/b
</span>( 12/15 = 18/b ) b<span>
( 12b/15 = 18 ) 15/12
b = 18(15/12)
b = 45/2
2. Solve equations
A. -x + 4 = x +6
</span>-x + 4 - x = x +6 - x
<span>-2x + 4 - 4 = 6 - 4
-2x = 2
x = -1
B. 5n + 7 =7(n+1) -2n
5n + 7 = 7n + 7 - 2n
5n -7n + 2n = 7 - 7
0 = 0
C. -4(p+2) + 8 = 2(p-1) - 7p + 15
-4p - 8 + 8 = 2p - 2 - 7p + 15
-4p + 7p - 2p = -2 + 15 + 8 - 8
p =13
3. Solve a/b x - c = 0 for x
</span>a/b x - c = 0
( a/b x = c ) b/a
x = bc / a
Store 1 : 12 paper towels for 3.60
3.60 / 12 = 0.30......30 cents per roll
store 2 : 10 paper towels for 3.50
3.50/10 = 0.35....35 cents per roll
the better deal is store 1 with paper towels costing 30 cents per roll

Answer:
C. 48.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the mean is 12, then 12 must be 2x, 3x, 4x, and 3x divided by 4.
--> 
--> 
--> 
--> x=4
Add: 2x+3x+4x+3x=8+12+16+12=48
