Answer:
y = 12x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
X = (y + 3) / 12
Multiply each side by 12 to clear the fraction
12 x = (y+3)/12 *12
12x = y+3
Subtract 3 from each side
12x -3 = y+3-3
12x-3 =y
Answer:
1/4 of an hour, or 60/4=15, 15 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
24/1=6/x
cross product
1*6=24*x
6=24x
x=6/24
x=1/4
It's a trick question. There are an infinite number of mixed numbers between 3 and 4 that can multiply to equal 12 (for example, 3 and 3/7 times 3 and 1/2), but there are no mixed numbers between 3 and 4 that can multiply to equal 9. 3 times 3 is not between them but is 3, but that quantity is excluded because 3<x<4. Anything even a small bit above the number 3 would have to be multiplied by 2 and some fraction, which would not be between 3 and 4.
