For the first one,
294 + 30 + x- 37 = 360
add like terms
287 + x = 360
subtract 287 from both sides
x = 73

for the second one
4x +3 = 63
subtract 3 from both sides
4x = 60
divide both sides by 4
x = 15

Original:4<br> New:5<br> State whether the percent of change is an increase or decrease

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

increase

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage increase = new value (5) - original value (4) /original value (4) x 100

5-4 = 1

1/4 = .25

.25 x 100 - 25%

percentage decrease = original value -new l value / original value x 100

Ann is 5 feet 3 inches tall. To find the height of a lamppost, she measured her shadow to be 8 feet 9 inches and the lamppost’s

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.

If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.

Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)

Ratio = 63/105

Reduce to the least fraction

Ratio = 3/5

If the height of the lamppost is H, then

H/144 = 3/5

H = (144 x3)/5

H = 86.4

Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.

Ryan and Marie had some marbles. if Ryan lost `15 marbles, he would have 4 times as many marbles as Marie. If Ryan lost 75 marbl

vaieri [72.5K]

Ryan's marbles = x
Marie has 4 times less marbles then Ryan would have if he lost 15 marbles (it means he would have x-15)
So, Marie marbles = (x-15):4
If Ryan lost 75 marbles (it means he would have x-75), he would have 1 1/2 times as many marbles as Marie.

We got an equation: $x-75=1\frac{1}2\cdot\frac{x-15}{4}$

          $x-75=\frac{3}2\cdot\frac{x-15}{4}$

Multiply both sides by 8:     $8x-8\cdot75=3\cdot(x-15)$

      $8x-600=3x-45$

Add 600 and subtract 3x on both sides:    $5x=555$

Divide both sides by 5:    $x=111$

Answer: Ryan have 111 marbles.
