If there is a solution, y=y so we can say:
1.5x-1=1 add 1 to both sides
1.5x=2 divide both sides by 1.5
x=2/1.5
x=4/3 (exact)
x=1 1/3 (exact)
x≈1.33 (to nearest hundredth of a unit)
1/2x + 42 = 4x
-1/2x -1/2x
------------------------
42 = 3.5x
/3.5 /3.5
------------------------
12 = x
the number is 12
explanation: 42 more than 1/2 of a number can be written as 1/2x + 42
four times a number can be written as 4x.
42 more than 1/2 of a number is equal to 4 times a number. So 1/2x + 42 = 4x.
Hope this helps :)
The correct question is;
Layla wants to build a wooden box with a volume of 45 cubic centimeters. She started with a width of 3 cm and a height of 3 cm. How long should Layla make the box?
Answer:
Box is 5 cm long.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Volume; V = 45 cm³
Width; w = 3 cm
Height;h = 3 cm
Now, this box has the shape of a cuboid and the volume of a cuboid is given as;
V = l × w × h
Where;
L is length
w is width
h is height
Making L the subject, we have;
V/wh = L
Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;
L = 45/(3 × 3)
L = 45/9
L = 5 cm
