3x-12 = 12x
-12 = 9x
-12/9 = x
x= -4/3
Answer: 5 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of times that he saved $75 be x.
Let the number of times that he saved $150 be y.
Therefore, based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation which will be:
x + y = 8 ...... i
75x + 150y = 825 ....... ii
From equation I,
x + y = 8
y = 8 - x....... iiii
Put equation iii into ii and this will be:
75x + 150y = 825
75x + 150(8 - x) = 825
75x + 1200 - 150x = 825
75x - 150x = 825 - 1200
-75x = -375
x = 375/75
x = 5
He saved $75 5times from his paycheck.
Step-by-step explanation:
since we know, she can run 360 ft per minute, and we want to know how many minutes she would need to run 500 yards we need to find out how often 360 ft fit into 500 yards.
so,
500 yards / 360 ft
how can we make this division ?
help is given to us by taking us that 1 yard = 3 ft.
aha !
so, 500 yards = 500×3 ft = 1500 ft
therefore, our task now looks like
1500 ft / 360 ft
and this we understand and can do, right ?
1500 / 360 = 150/36 = 75/18 = 4 3/18 = 4 1/6 minutes
the closest answer option is therefore 4.2, meaning she would take about 4.2 minutes to run 500 yards.

Lets apply that here.
72-[(3x2^3)+48]
So first we start with (3x2^3)
2^3=8
3*8=24
now we do 24+48 which equals 72
now we have 72-72 which equals zero.
So
72-[(3x2^3)+48] = 0
