To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
To answer this question you must find the percentage of the children that read before bed and compare it to the adults bag read before bed’s percentage.
To do this, start by dividing the number of children that read before bed by the total number of children surveyed.
This leaves you with:
6/13= 0.4615
To find the actual percentage, multiply this result by 100.
0.4615 x 100 = 46.15
This percentage rounded is 46%
So, now you can compare the percentages. The percentage of children that read before bed is 46% and the percentage of adults that read before bed is 54%. So, the group with the greatest percentage was the adults.
I hope this helps!
After 4 hours there will be 64 000

do you need exactly 50 000?
Y=mx+b
3= -1/2(6) + b
3= -3+b
3+3= b
b= 6
y= mx+b
2= -1/2x+ 6
2-6 = -1/2x
-4 = -1/2x
-4•-2 = -1/2x •-2
x = 8
(8,2)
