Answer:

Vinita is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Smita is <u>twice</u> as old as Vinita, this means Smita is 2 times the age of Vinita. We can represent this in an equation, where the age of Vinita is x.

2x is the age of Smita.

x is the age of Vinita.

The sum of their ages is 24.

so we can write this as:

2x + x = 24

2x + x is 3x so,

3x = 24

Then divide each side by 2 to get x by itself.

x = 8

Hence, Vinita is 8 years old.

Demetrious returned five library books last week, returned three books this week, then checked out 8 more books. He now has 12 l
Zanzabum

Answer:The number of books that he had before last week is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of books that he had before last week.

Demetrious returned five library books last week. This means that the number of books left is x - 5

He returned three books this week. This means that the amount of books left is x - 5 - 3 = x - 8

He then checked out 8 more books. This means that the amount of books left is x-8-8 = x - 16

He now has 12 library books. This means that

x - 16 = 12

x = 12 + 16 = 28

Hank has read 25 percent of his book. If Hank has read 150 pages, which equation can be used to find the total number of pages i
oee [108]

Answer:

150=\frac{1}{4} x, or 4(150)=x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use x to represent the total number of pages in the book.

If 150 is a quarter of the whole book, then 150 is equal to a quarter of x

150= .25(x)

We an go further and multiply both sides by 4 to cancel the .25

4(150)=x

We can finish solving and x=600 pages
