Change the messy words into numerals
3 times a number minus 2 equals 13
3 × n - 2 = 13
3n - 2 = 13
take 2 to the other side
3n - 2 + (2) = 13 + (2)
3n = 15
Divide by 3 on either sides to isolate n

=

3 and 3 cancels out
n = 5
check:
3 times 5 minus 2 equals 13
3 × 5 - 2 = 13
15 - 2 = 13
13 = 13
The number is 5
Let's use the line on the right side. In the smaller triangle, the length is 4. The same side on the bigger triangle is 12. The ratio of the smaller triangle to the bigger triangle is:


To find a side length for the bigger triangle, all you need to do is multiply by 3. The same side on the smaller triangle is 5. Multiply by 3

That means x = 15
Answer:
87.92 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
pi × (R² - r²) = area
Where R is the radius of the outer circle and r of the inner circle.
Since C = 2pi×r
37.68 = 2×3.14×r
r = 6 in
R = 6 + 2 = 8 in
Therefore,
pi × (R² - r²) = area
Area = 3.14 (8² - 6²)
= 87.92 in²
2040 = n/2(20+(n-1)4)
4080 = n(20+4n-4)
4080= 20n +4n^2 -4n
1020 = 4n + n^2
n^2 +4n -1020 =0
use common formula (can't write out so just look at answers. sorry)
which gives answers of n=-34 and n=30. since n can only be positive, n=30 so there are 30 rows. I liked that challenge
