Answer: 12 acres could be planted (at most)
Step-by-step explanation: Since there will be twice as many acres of wheat in comparison to the corn, out of the total 36 acres at least 24 of those will need to be wheat. That leaves 12 acres left for the corn.
Let "x" be a substitute for "a number"
1/3(x)=x-12 Multiply by 3
x=3x-36 Get n onto the same side of the equation
2x=36 Divide by 2
x=18
That's your answer.
Answer: It will take Damon 6 weeks to save the money he needs to buy the snowboard
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's see what the problem is giving us:
-The variable X will represent the number of weeks it will take Damon to save the money he needs.
- Damon has $40
- Damon is going to safe $20 weekly
- The snowboard costs $160
Therefor:
Our equation will be: $40 + $20X = $160
Step 1
We need to isolate the variable by subtracting in both sides of the equation 40 in order to maintain the equality.
40 - 40 + 20X = 160 - 40
This will let us with 20X = 120
Step 2
We have to isolate the variable again, but this time (because the variable is being multiplied by 20) we have to divide on both sides of the equation.
20X/20 = 120/20
Therefore: X=6

Answer:
104
Step-by-step explanation:
women = 8/8
men = 5/8
all workers = 8/8 + 5/8 = 13/8
extra women workers = 8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8
so...
3/8 = 24
13/8 = x
( cross multiplication method)
3/8 x = 39
x = 104
Hence, there are 104 workers
