Did you write the problem right
Answer:
12 ....10....11....13 THATS THE CORRECT ORDER
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Home runs = X
Triples would be X-3 ( 3 less triples than home runs)
Doubles would be 3x ( 3 times as many doubles as home runs)
Singles would be 45(x-3) ( 45 times as many singles as triples)
Simplify the equation for singles to be 45x-153
Now you have X + x-3 + 3x + 4x-135 = 262
Simplify:
50x - 138 = 262
Add 138 to both sides:
50x = 400
Divide both sides by 50:
x = 400/50
x = 8
Home runs = x = 8
Triples = x-3 = 8-3 = 5
Doubles = 3x = 3(8) = 24
Singles = 45(x-3) = 45(8-3) = 45(5) = 225
It depends, what does a mean? If you know just add what a means to 3 then subtract 4.
Answer:
27 miles in the morning and 85 miles in the afternoon.
Explanation:
Let m be the number of miles they rode in the morning. They rode 4 more than 3 times this many in the afternoon; this gives us the expression
3m+4
to represent the miles ridden in the afternoon.
Together they rode 112 miles; this means we add the morning miles, m, to the afternoon miles, 3m+4, and get 112:
m+3m+4 = 112
Combine like terms:
4m+4 = 112
Subtract 4 from each side:
4m+4-4= 112-4
4m = 108
Divide both sides by 4:
4m/4 = 108/4
m = 27
They rode 27 miles in the morning.
That means in the afternoon, they rode
3m+4 = 3(27)+4 = 81+4 = 85 miles.
