Answer:
x>9 this is the correct answer
First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21.
x - 5 = 21 ; x = 26
Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.
I believe it's 3 because 4 times 3 equals 12 and 12 plus 8 equals 20!
4(3)+8=20
Hoped this helped! :)

A fractions structure is that of:
count
size indicator of what you are counting
→
numerator
denominator
You can not directly add or subtract the counts (numerators) unless the size indicators (denominators) are the same.

Consider

Write as

+

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms so you can change the way something looks without changing its true value

But the size indicators are not the same. I chose to make them become 12

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Midpoints of two coordinates is expressed using the formula;
M(X, Y) = (x2+x1/2, y2+y1/2)
Given the coordinates c(5,3) and d(-3,-6)
x1 = 5, y1 = 3, x2 = -3 and y2 = -6
X = x1+x2/2
X = 5+(-3)/3
X = 5-3/2
X = 2/2
X = 1
Also;
Y = y1+y2/2
Y = 3+(-6)/2
Y = 3-6/2
Y = -3/2
Y = -1.5
