Answer:
36 black socks
Step-by-step explanation:
white socks: black socks
1 :3
We have 12 white socks so we multiply each term by 12
1*12 : 3*12
12:36
We have 36 black socks
Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
So first we need to plug in 5 as the variable a and -7 as the variable b
4(5)-(-7)
Next we multiply the 4 and the 5 together to get 20
4(5) = 20 or 4 x 5 = 20
20-(-7)
Now we subtract negative 7 from 20
20-(-7) = 27
This can also be written as 20 plus 7 as a mathematical rule states: two negatives make a positive. So:
20-(-7) = 20 + 7
Both of these are equivalent in every sense of the word and give us our final answer of 27
Answer:
Number of pineapples= 10
number of pears = 19
number of kiwis = 10 -2 = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of a pear = $ 0.50
Cost of a pineapple = $ 1.5
cost of a kiwi = $ 0.3
Let the pineapples = p
Number of pears = 9 + p
Number of kiwis = p - 2
The cost is
0.15 p + 0.5 (9 + p) + 0.3 (p - 2) = 13.50
0.15 p + 4.5 + 0.5p + 0.3 p - 0.6 = 13.50
0.95 p = 9.6
p = 10

Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked sides are proportional, so we have ...
x/8 = (x +5)/12
3x = 2(x +5) . . . . . multiply by 24 to clear fractions
3x = 2x + 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
We observe that the difference between the upper segment lengths is ...
(x +5) -(x) = 5
and the difference between the lower segment lengths is ...
12 -8 = 4
This means the upper segment lengths are 5/4 times as long as the lower segments. Then ...
x = (5/4)(8) = 10
Isn’t it 26... cuz 26x2 is 52 then subtract 7 which is 45
