3x + 5 = 23
5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23
(you add 5 to 3x)
If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:
3x + 5 = 23 Subtract 5 on both sides
3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5
3x = 18 Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself
x = 6
Scale factor is given by:
(length of larger figure)/(length of smaller figure)=(width of larger figure)/(width of the smaller figure)=3.4
The length of the larger figure will be given by:
length=(scale factor)*(length of smaller figure)
=3.4*6=20.4 cm
width of the larger figure will be given by:
width=(scale factor)*(width of smaller figure)
=3.4*4.5
=15.3 cm
Therefore the dimension of the new parallelogram will be 20.4 cm by 15.3 cm
2500/10=250
250 represents how much the elephant can eat in one day. Since they want to know how much the elephant can eat in 1000 days you would multiply 250 and 1000 which leaves you with 250,000 pounds of food.
The elephant can eat 250,000 pounds of food in 10 days. :)
