X/3 -2 = 6

Add 2 to both sides:

X/3 = 8

Multiply both sides by 3:

X = 24

X/5 +1 = 5

Subtract 1 from both sides:

X/5 = 4

Multiply both sides by 5:

X = 20

Answer:

a) 24.

b) 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) x/3 - 2 = 6

x/3 = 6 + 2 = 8

x = 3*8

x = 24.

b). x/5 + 1 = 5

x/5 = 5 - 1 = 4

x = 5*4

x = 20.

Emerson struck out 112 times in 350 at-bats. What is the percent of strike outs per at-bat?

Natasha2012 [34]

We are told that Emerson struck out 112 times in 350 at-bats. We are asked to find the percent of strike outs per at-bat.

Let us find out 112 is what percent of 350.

$\text{Percentage of strike outs per at-bat}=\frac{112}{350} \cdot 100$

$\text{Percentage of strike outs per at-bat}=0.32 \cdot 100$

$\text{Percentage of strike outs per at-bat}=32$

Therefore, Emerson struck out 32% of the at-bats.

Equation parallel to y = 3x + 2 and passing through (1, 1)

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 3 = - 2

y = 3x - 2 ← equation of line
