3(x - 4) = 3x - 12 (expand the brackets)
3x - 12 = 2x + 6
3x = 2x + 6 + 12 (put all of the integers on one side)
3x = 2x + 18 (simplify - collect like terms)
3x - 2x = 18 (put all of the unknowns on one side)
x = 18 (simplify - collect like terms)
Therefore, we know that x is equal to 18, and so the answer is E.
The equations to calculate the legs are 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24, x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 and x^2 + (x + 2)^2 = 100
<h3>How to determine the legs of the triangle?</h3>
The complete question is in the attached image
The given parameters are:
Area = 24
Legs = x and x + 2
The area of the triangle is calculated as:
Area = 0.5 * Base * Height
This gives
0.5 * x * (x + 2) = 24
So, we have:
0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24
Divide through by 0.5
(x)(x + 2) = 48
Expand
x^2 + 2x = 48
Subtract 48 from both side
x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0
Hence, the equations to calculate the legs are 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24, x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 and x^2 + (x + 2)^2 = 100

12.5 is bigger.
Because if we convert the fraction of 3/20 to normal numbers is equal to 0.15. <span>and</span> 12.5 is way bigger than 0.15 :3
Hope it helped.
Answer:
750 total people
Step-by-step explanation:
25 to 50 = 1/2
So: 250 x 2 = 500 men
500 + 250 = 750 total
