q = quarters
dimes is 3 plus 3times quarters
so 3q is 3 times quarters
so 3q+3 would be 3 times plus 3
equation is 3q+3
the value would be 10(3q+3)
Answer:
I would set this up as:
let: lesser number = x
greater number = 2x + 5
Restating the word problem:
lesser number + greater number = 38
x + 2x + 5 = 38
Solving: 3x + 5 = 38
- 5 -5
---------------
3x = 33
--- ---
3 3
x = 11
Substitution for the greater number:
2(11) + 5
22 + 5
27
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the associative property for addition. In informal language, it says under addition, the order of the addition is not critical.
we know the blue and white paints are on a 1.5 : 5 ratio, thus, if we have a total of 16.25 gallons of paint to be split along that ratio, we can simply divide 16.25 by (1.5+5) and distribute accordingly.

Well, if it is increasing at a fixed rate of 2 mm/s, then the volume would still be increasing at a rate of 2 mm/s when the diameter is 80 mm, if I understand your question correctly.
