Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
It depends, if the two sides given are adjacent to each other then yes. but you are given two opposite sides then no, because you don't know the length of one of the sides, thus not being able to calculate the perimeter
33,52 Thats what i think at least
Answer: 9’ 9”
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: $8.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of a bread = x
Let the price of a tarts = x - 1
If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:
3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5
3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5
3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5
3.5x = 30
x = 30/3.5
x = 8.6
