Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 7 =2(2x +7) - 5
8x - 7 =4x +14 - 5
8x - 7 =4x +9
8x - 4x =9 +7
4x =16
x=16 :4
x=4
The numbers are 3 and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let one number be x. Then the other number = 6x.
Also, 6x = 12 + 2x
⇒ 4x = 12
⇒ x = 3
⇒ 6x = 18
If it’s a triangle then it has to equal 180
so 48+54+x=180
48+54=102
180-102=x
x=78
Simplest way to do this:
number of books= 120
percentage represented by 120= 100%
increase current percent by 55%= 155%
: . 55% increase = original number of books * (155%)
= 120 * (155/100)
= 186
