Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
expand the brackets firstly,
so 12x-4 = 20
then add the -4 onto the other side
so 12x = 24
then divide 24 by 12 to get x
so x = 2
Answer:
The home printer is faster.
Step-by-step explanation:
25 photos in 12.5 minutes
12.5 is half of 25 and therefore this is a two to one ratio.
So 2 photos print in 1 minute with the office printer.
And 4 photos in 2 minutes(this is relevant later)
The home printer prints 15 photos in 6 minutes. Since 15 is not divisible by 6 without a remainder divide both by 3.
So 5 photos in 2 minutes. This is faster than the office printer.
To find how many photos it would print in 12 more minutes, simply multiply 15 by two, since the minutes(6) was multiplied by 2 to get 12. This leaves you with an answer of 30 photos in 12 minutes
You could use many methods to find the answer to this problem, but I am going to use the most efficient one I know.
18f+15(4f)=156
F is for fins. We should now solve the equation.
18f+60f=156
78f=156
156÷78=2
So fins cost 2 dollars. Now, we know snorkels cost four times the amount of fins. Four times 2 is eight. So the snorkels cost $8 to rent. Let's check our math.
15(8) + 18(2)
120+36=156
So it cost $8 to rent a snorkel.
Answer:
x= 27/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:b= -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
>-3b+2.5=4
>-3b=1.5(subtract 2.5 from both sides)
>b=-0.5 (divide both sides by -3)
