I’m not sure if this is correct but this is the way i would solve it.

first, make an equation with the given information

2x-3=30

Then, add three to both sides

2x=33

Finally, divide both sides by 2

x= 16.5


x represents the age of maggie so all you have to do is plug the solution into the equation to check your answer.

2(16.5)-3= 30

A rectangular yard is X feet wide. The yard is 4 feet longer than it is wide. The perimeter P of yard is given by the equation P
vladimir2022 [97]

Given:

Width of the rectangular yard = x feet

Length of the rectangular yard = x+4 feet

Perimeter of the rectangular yard is:

P=4x+8

Perimeter of the yard = 84 feet

To find:

The length of the rectangular yard.

Solution:

Perimeter of the yard is 84 feet.

4x+8=84

4x=84-8

4x=76

Divide both sides by 4.

x=\dfrac{76}{4}

x=19

So, the width of the rectangular yard is 19 feet.

Length = 19+4

Length = 23

The length of the rectangular field is 23 feet.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

What is 16 out of 24 as a grade
Dominik [7]
16 out of 24 would equal around 67%, and that as a grade would be a D.
However, grades MAY vary from school to school.
But on average:
A= 100 through 90, B= 89 through 80, C= 79 through 70, D= 69 through 60, and an F= 59 and below that.
Keep in my mind that if your grade has digits after the decimal, it will be rounded (in your case) and that may also change your grade, for example if your grade is 79.7%, then it will be rounded to 80%, and your grade will be a B.

37 1/2% of _________ is 36, Please help show work I am really confused.
klio [65]

Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:

Tool #1:  37-1/2 percent means 0.375

Tool #2:  In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".

====================================

Your question says

                           "37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".

Translate it with your tools:

                                  0.375  times  blank  =  36 .

Divide each side by 0.375:              Blank = 36 / 0.375 .

Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division).  Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.


To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):

Do exactly what the question says.

Multiply (0.375) times (your answer).  If you get 36,
then your answer is correct.  If not, it's not.

Find the length of the missing side when x=3. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
Juliette [100K]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The missing length can be found by applying pythagorean theorem. Thus:

Missing length = √((8x)² - (2x)²)

Missing length = √(64x² - 4x²)

✔️Missing length = √(60x²) = 2x√15

Plug in the value of x which is 3

Missing length = 2*3√15

✔️Length = 6√5
