Try this:
2(x+5)=17
By distributing 2 to x and five you're left with 2x+10=17
Subtract 10 from both sides to equal 2x=7
Divide 7 for x=3.5
Answer:
x = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
126
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5 times 12 = 126
A] Let the total number of pages be x, this is equivalent to 1/1
The fraction of novel read on the first day is 1/4
The remaining fraction of pages will be:
1/1-1/4=3/4
Fraction read on the second day:
1/2×3/4=3/8
The remaining fraction will be:
1-(3/8+1/4)
=1-5/8
=3/8
Thus the fraction read on the third day is 3/8:
therefore:
3/8 represents 108 hence:
x=(1/1)/(3/8)×108
x=288 pages
b] The number of pages read on the second day will be:
(total number of pages)×(fraction of pages read on the second day)
total number of pages=288
fraction read on the second day=3/8
hence number of pages read on this date will be:
=288×3/8
=108
1.8 divided by 0.24 is 7.5
The answer is 7.5
