Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
Answer:
Area: 60
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply the base and the height which are 12 cm and 10 cm.
2. The multiply that product by 1/2 or you can divide it by 2 to get the area of the triangle.
The events are mutually exclusive, because your primary method can't be both a driving a car or taking a bus.
Since they are exclusive, the probability of the "or" clause is the sum of the probabilities:
Since a person primarily takes a bus with probability 0.32, the opposite happens with probability
Answer:
2 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
if 8 limes costs 2 dollars, then 4 limes cost 1 dollar
you purchased 12 limes so since you already know what 8 limes coms, you could subtract that
12-8=4
now you need to find out how much for 4 limes which would be half the price of 8 limes.. which should be 1 dollar
so $2.00+$1.00= $3.00
finally 5 dollars minus 3 would result in a change of 2 dollars
Let the x ml of water be mixed with 237 ml of ammonia whose strength is 100%, in order to create a mixture of 75% strength.
The equation required to solve this will be:
237/(237+x)=75/100
solving for x we get:
237/(237+x)=3/4
237×4=3(237+x)
948=711+3x
3x+711=948
3x=948-711
3x=237
x=237/3
x=79 ml
therefore the amount of water to be added will be 79 ml
