Answer:
XQ = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question it asks for XQ instead of x, but you need to find x first.
1. Find x.
XQ is half of MQ so this statement is true: 3x - 3 = 2(2x - 6)
Solve for x.
3x - 3 = 2(2x - 6)
Distribute 2.
3x - 3 = 4x - 12
Isolate x.
3x = 4x - 9
-x = -9
Divide -1 out.
x = 9
Now solve for XQ, which the equation is given.
XQ = 2(9) - 6
XQ = 18 - 6
XQ = 12
<em>IMPORTANT THIGNS TO REMEMBER:</em>
- Has 20 lb. dog food!
- Gives dog 1 3/5 everyday!
- Find how much eaten after 2 days!
- Find how much is left!
<em>ANSWER:</em>
Dog has eaten 3 1/5 after 2 days!
There is 16 4/5 left in bag!
<em>EXPLANATION:</em>
Since she gives 1 3/5 to her dog everyday and their asking for 2 days you would multiply 1 3/5 × 2 OR add 1 3/5 + 1 3/5
Which would give you 3 1/5
So, the dog has eaten 3 1/5 lb. of dog food in 2 days.
However then, you would subtract 20 lb. - 3 1/5 lb. because there is 20 lb. dog food in all and the dog has eaten 3 1/5 of it. This would give you 16 4/5 lb.
Meaning there is 16 4/5 lb. left in the bag of dog food!
Answer:
c = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
3(c - 4) = 4(c - 6)
Use the distributive property on each side.
3c - 12 = 4c - 24
Now you need the terms with c on the left side and the numbers on the right side. Subtract 4c from both sides. Add 12 to both sides.
3c - 4c - 12 + 12 = 4c - 4c - 24 + 12
Combine like terms on each side.
-c = -12
Multiply both sides by -1.
c = 12
The square root would be 3.4 if rounded to the tenths place
