Let the number be x.
Triple the number means 3x
add 6 means 3x + 6
subtract the number twice 3x + 6 - x - x
the result is the number plus 3 means that the result is x + 3
So, combining these into an equation, we get:
3x + 6 - x - x = x + 3
If we solve this equation for x, we will get:
x + 6 = x + 3
The x will cancel out and we will get : 6 = 3
Therefore, this is a false statement.
The question is a little confusing, so bare with me.
The part that throws me off is the "same number of girls and boys". Does each individual group need the same amount of girls to boys, or does each group need the same amount of girls and boys as the other groups? I'm assuming it's the latter, as "all of the children are in a group, but I'll solve it both ways.
The first way, there can only be twelve groups. A boy and a girl in each group so it's equal, and 24 boys sit out.
The second way, the answer is 16. Each group will have two boys and one girl. So each group will have three kids. 12 plus 36 is 48, and 48 divided by 3 is 16.
Hope this helped, and feel free to ask more questions.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Descriptive statistics describe an event that happens over time. So bowler striking on 1/5 of his throws that night would be an example of descriptive statistics.
Answer:
uppercase B = StartFraction 3 uppercase V Over h
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume (V) of a pyramid is:
V = 1/3*B*h
where B is the are of the base and h is the height. We can isolate B, as follows:
multiply by 3 at both sides
V*3 = 1/3*B*h*3
divide by h at both sides
V*3/h = B*h/h
V*3/h = B
A, b, e, f, all these contain an n to the 1st power
