3x+20=5x+12
-3x -3x
20= 2x +12
-12 -12
8=2x
Divide both sides by two
4=x
It will take four days (this is how to solve algebraically)
Answer is 264
You just multiply at three numbers
In expanded form, the number would look like this:
300,000,000 + 10,000,000 + 700,000 + 60,000 + 3,000 + 100 + 40 + 6
When you add the value of all of these digits, it'll get you the number: 310,763,146. Adding all of these values up and getting the number you originally started with is a great method of making sure you got the right answer.
Haha, you first start off with adding 3 to both sides, cancelling the -3, and adding it to 9. you end up with 5x=12, in which you divide both sides by 5. you get 2 and 2/5 or 12/5! hope that helps :)
No, the question is not a statistical question.
