Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion is

14/6 = 21/(3x - 12) Cross Multiply

14*(3x - 12) = 6*21 Remove the brackets and combine

42x - 168 = 126 Add 168 to both sides

42x = 126 + 168

42x = 294 Divide by 42

x = 294/42

x = 7

It's not time to try and simplify it until you HAVE an equation. You won't have an equation until you write down what. V*4x is equal to.

Javier and his friends go out to eat. The restaurant they chose automatically adds a 15% gratuity to their food bill since they

siniylev [52]

well, we know that 213.90 includes the 15% gratuity, so if the meal price was say "x", namely that is the 100%, and we add 15% to that, then 100% + 15% = 115%, so 213.90 is really the 115%.

now, if 213.90 is the 115.%, what is "x"? the 100%.

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 213.90&115\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{213.9}{x}=\cfrac{115}{100}\implies 21390=115x \\\\\\ \cfrac{21390}{115}=x\implies 186=x$

so since we know the meal without the tip is 186 bucks, the tip was then 213.90 - 186 = 27.90.

but they got extra potato wedges with butter and the waitress was wearing her best hat, they added $20 more, so the tip ended up as 27.90 + 20 = 47.90.

now, if the cost of the meal was $186 and that is the 100%, what is 47.90 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 186&100\\ 47.90&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{186}{47.90}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 186x=4790 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{4790}{186}\implies x\approx \stackrel{\%}{25.75}$

A bag contains purple marbles and yellow marbles, 52 in total. The number of purple marbles is 4 more than 3 times the number of

Masja [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be modeled using the equation 3x+4=52 (x is the purple marbles). To solve this equation subtract 4 from both sides, making it 3x=48. divide both by three showing x=16. This shows that 16 is the answer.

The sides of ∠A are tangent to circle k(O) with radius r. Find: r, if OA=14 dm, m∠A=90°.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

r = √98

Step-by-step explanation:

angle A and the diameter form an isosceles right triangle, with OA as the hypotenuse and r as the other sides. You can then make and solve an equation from the Pythagorean Theorem:

r^2 + r^2 = 14^2

2r^2 = 14^2

2r^2 = 196

r^2 = 98

r = √98
