If 3/4(x) is 12, then what is x?

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 3/4x=12, so you would just divide 12 by 3/4 to get 16 as x

The cost of a car rental is $25 per day plus 22 per mile. You are on a daily budget of $90. Write and solve an inequality to f

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: You can drive, at most, 2.95 miles per day.

x ≤ 2.95

Step-by-step explanation:

In a single day, you can spend at most $90

Then if C represents the cost of renting the car, then we will have the inequality:

C ≤ $90

Now let's find the equation for C.

We know that we have a fixed cost of $25 plus $22 per mile, then if you drive x miles, the total cost will be $25 plus x times $22, or:

C = $25 + x*$22.

We can now replace that in the inequality:

$25 + x*$22 ≤ $90

Now let's isolate the variable x

x*$22 ≤ $90 - $25

x*$22 ≤ $65

x ≤ $65/$22 = 2.95

x ≤ 2.95

You can drive at most, 2.95 miles per day.

To find other inequalities with the same solution we can start with the solution:

x ≤ 2.95

Now let's multiply both sides by a number (the units of the number can be dollars, in that way we can make a similar problem)

Let's multiply both sides by $10:

x*$10 ≤ 2.95*$10 = $29.5

x*$10 ≤ $29.5

Now let's add the same number in both sides, for example, $5.

x*$10 + $5 ≤ $29.5 + $5 = $34.5

x*$10 + $5 ≤ $34.5

We could write this problem as:

"To rent a cab in your city, you have an initial cost of $5, plus $10 for each mile driven. How many miles could you drive if at most you can spend $34.50?"

You could be more creative with the problem, but this is the way in which you can craft problems of this type when you already know the solution.

A school has 600 pupils. 1/5 are in the upper school, 1⁄4 in the middle school and

crimeas [40]

Step-by-step explanation:

the number of pupils are in the lower school

= (1- 1/5 - ¼) × 600

= (20/20 - 4/20 - 5/20)×600

= (11/20) ×600

= 330 pupils

A carnival uses two baskets hanging from springs at different heights. Next to the higher basket is a pile of baseballs. Next to

Lelechka [254]

*I've tried looking up to see if I can find what the part B and c of this question is, but unfortunately, I can't find them. However, I have tried answering this question by answering part a, and also going ahead to answer how to state and explain the secrets of winning the game. I'm pretty sure most of the questions would be answered in the process.

Answer/Step-by-sep explanation:

Using an equation, in slope-intercept form, we can derive an equation that models the relationship of the height of each basket and the number of balls it contains.

The slope-intercept form is given as: $y = mx + b$ , where,

m = slope/rate of change

b = y-intercept/strating value/height of the basket when it's empty.

✍️Baseball Equation:

Using two pairs, (0, 54) and (5, 39) from the given table of values,

Slope/rate of change (m) = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{39 - 54}{5 - 0} = \frac{-15}{5} = -3$ .

y-intercept, b, = the starting value, or the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, b = 54

This means that the baseball basket was at a height of 54 units when it was empty.

m = -3, means the baseball basket kept reducing at an average rate of -3 units in height as each ball was added.

To derive the baseball equation, substitute m = -3, and b = 54 into $y = mx + b$ .

✅Thus, base ball equation would be:

$y = -3x + 54$

✍️Golf Ball Equation:

Using two pairs, (0, 45) and (5, 35) from the given table of values,

Slope/rate of change (m) = $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{35 - 45}{5 - 0} = \frac{-10}{5} = -2$ .

y-intercept, b, = the starting value, or the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, b = 45

This means that the golf ball basket was at a height of 45 units when it was empty.

m = -2, means the golf ball basket kept reducing at an average rate of -2 units in height as each ball was added.

To derive the baseball equation, substitute m = -2, and b = 45 into $y = mx + b$ .

✅Thus, golf ball equation would be:

$y = -2x + 45$

Now, to win the game, we have to find out how many number of exact balls (x) we need to add in each basket equally, for both baskets to be at the same height.

To do this, set the equation of the baseball equal to that of the golf ball.

Thus:

$-3x + 54 = -2x + 45$
