The equation will be 2x + 7 = 3x

subtract 2x from bothsides, you get 7 = x

so x is equal to 7 

EDITED

sorry, i didnt read the sum part, so my answer is considered wrong ahaha

2(x+7) equals 3x

distribute, you get 2x+14=3x

then subtract 2x,

the answer for x is 14

X= in the number searched
2(x+7)= is the twice the sum of this number and seven.
3x= is three times the number

Because the twice the sum of a number and seven is three times the number, we suggest the following equation:

2(x+7)=3x
2x+14=3x
3x-2x=14
x=14

Answer: the number is 14.

At a school number of boy:number of girls is in the ratio 11:9
const2013 [10]

Answer:

1240 (I'm not so sure but per my calculation that is what i got)

Step-by-step explanation:

Boy     : Girl

11         :   9

124 + x :  x

11/9 = 124 + x / x

9(124 + x) = 11 x

1116 + 9x = 11x

1116 = 11x - 9x

1116 = 2x

x = 558

Thus, there are 558 girls in the school

Number of boys = 124 + x

                             = 124 + 558

                             = 682

Therefore, total number of students = 558 + 682 = 1240 students

What is the median of the data set?
Arturiano [62]
First we need to arrange the numbers in this number set from smallest to biggest:17,18,24,27,31,39,42,47,55,65. Then there are 10 numbers in this number set. So when we calculate the median, we need to find the middle two numbers and calculate their average. So the median is (31+39)/2=35. SO the answer is B

Jug can type 128 words in 3 minutes. How many minutes will it take him to type 576 words
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

13.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3 min }{128 words} = \frac{xmin}{576 words}

Cross multiply

3 × 576 = 128x

3 × 576 = 1,728

1,728 = 128x

1,728 ÷ 128 = x

13.5 = x
