Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we simply need to convert the words into the left hand side of the equation and solve for x:

The quantity of implies a grouping

x plus 20 is the quantity

And we want the quantity over 2 all equal to 3x:

( x + 20 ) / 2  = 3x

( x + 20 )  = 6x

20 = 5x

4 = x

And now we can check to see if x is correct by plugging back into the equation:

( x + 20 ) / 2 = 3x

( (4) + 20 ) / 2 ?= 3(4)

( 24 ) / 2 ?= 12

12 == 12

Therefore, we have shown the value of x to be equal to 4.

Cheers.

How do I solve this? It's so confusing.
Neporo4naja [7]
If I follow the angle degrees that they gave, your answers would be as follows:
I=145°
S=155° or 90°
E=78°
L=120° or 55°

Maybe this is right, sorry it took so long.

Numbers like 10, 100, 1,000, and so on are <br><br> called?
mylen [45]
Numbers starting with a 1 and followed by only 0s (such 10, 100, 1,000,10,000, and so forth) are called powers of ten, and they're easy to represent as "exponents". Powers of ten are the result of multiplying 10 times itself any number of times.

Answer:

  4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

JK is twice as long as LM, so is 4.8 units long.

"Similar" means the sides of one figure have the same ratio as the corresponding sides of the other figure. We see that AB = 2×CD. JK corresponds to AB, and LM corresponds to CD.

__

We could bother to calculate that sides of JKLM are 1.2 times as long as the corresponding sides of ABCD, but that is not necessary. We only need to find a convenient ratio between the side we want and some other known side. I like a ratio of 2, because it is easy to double a number. We find AB=2CD, so JK=2LM=2×2.4 = 4.8.
