Answer:
There is 1 solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5(x - 3) = 3x - 2.5
0.5x - 1.5 = 3x - 2.5
-2.5x = -1
x = 0.4
There is 1 solution.
I hope this helps. X is equal to 4 and -9
The volumetric mean radius of Mars is about 3389.5 km. We know that it's 13.7% of Neptune's mean radius, so we can write it down as:
3389.5 = 13.7% of x (where x is Neptune's radius)
3389.5 = 13.7% x
3389.5 = 137/1000x / * 1000 (both sides)
3389500 = 137x / ÷ 137 (both sides)
x = 24740.87591240876
x ≈ 24740.88
Answer: The mean radius of Neptune is about 24740.88 km.
