Answer:
He has 60 paper clips before giving some away.
Step-by-step explanation:
Before : 5x : 3x
After: 5x - 12 = 3x + 12
5x - 12 = 3x + 12
First, we need to take away the smallest value of x from the largest.
-3x
2x - 12 = 12
Then, we need to add +12 to get rid of -12 on the lefthand side.
2x = 24
Divide by 2 to get x on its own.
x = 12
Bert had 5x so we need to multiply x (what we found as 12) by 5. 12 x 5 = 60. Bert had 60 paper clips before he gave some away.
We can prove this answer as correct, too.
5 x 12 = 60
3 x 12 = 36
60 - 12 = 36 + 12
48 = 48
Hope this helps, have a good day. :D
Answer:
radius = 3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
V = 1/3πr²h
15π = 1/3πr²·5
you can divide each side by 5π to get:
3 = r²/3
r² = 9
r = 
which is 3
3r - 6
It can be written as:-
3(r - 2)
Answer: 3(r - 2)
