Answer: x = 1
3x + 4 = 7
subtract 4 from both sides
3x = 3
x = 3/3 = 1
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
let the other number be x
according to the question equation is
-12x = 96
x = 96/-12
x = -8
Given:
Bobby put 1/3 of his lawn mowing money into his savings
He uses the remaining 2/5 to buy a video game.
He has $12 left.
To find:
The amount did he have at first.
Solution:
Let x be the initial amount.
Bobby put 1/3 of his lawn mowing money into his savings. So, the remaining amount is

He uses the remaining 2/5 to buy a video game. Then the remaining amount is





It is given that the remaining amount is $12.



Divide both sides by 2.


Therefore, Bobby have $30 at first.
Answer: 19 cm
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

99 = 
99 = 
198 = (2x + 13)(x - 4)
198 = 2x² + 5x - 52
0 = 2x² + 5x - 250
0 = 2x²- 20x + 25x - 250
0 = 2x(x - 10) + 25( x - 10)
0 = (2x + 25)(x - 10)
0 = 2x + 25 or 0 = x - 10
= x or x = 10
Since length cannot be negative,
can be disregarded
Larger base: x + 9 = 10 + 9 = 19
