Answer:

x is equal to one and two fifths.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

12x - 15 = 6 - 3x

Let's start by noticing that every term in that equation is divisible by 3. That means we can factor 3 out of it, giving us:

4x - 5 = 2 - x

Now we'll add x to both sides:

4x + x - 5 = 2 - x + x

5x - 5 = 2

An then we add 5 to both sides:

5x - 5 + 5 = 2 + 5

5x = 7

Finally, we can divide both sides by 5 to get the final answer:

5x ÷ 5 = 7 ÷ 5

x = 7/5

To put that in proper form it would be:

$x = 1 \frac{2}{5}$

He drinks 8 glasses of water in one day. to know the number of glasses he drinks in 365 days, simply use cross multiplication as follows:
number of glasses per year = (365*8)/1 = 2920 glasses
so, yes his assumption is reasonable if he kept the same rate (8 glasses per day each day)

A virus has infected 400 people in the town and is spreading to 25% more people each day.

NeTakaya

Answer:

N = 400(1.25^t); 3725

Step-by-step explanation:

25% more is 125% of the previous, which is 1.25

N = 400(1.25^t)

t = 10

N = 100(1.25^10)

N = 3725.290298

Around 3725 people
