The correct answer for this question is this one: "<span>147"</span>
Here's how to solve this problem.
Let <span>x = number of mystery books on the shelf </span>
<span>Let 3x = total number of books on the shelf </span>
<span>we are told that </span>
<span>x/5<10<x/4 </span>
<span>multiply by 20, </span>
<span>4x<200<5x </span>
<span>which means that </span>
<span>40<x<50 </span>
<span>So the number of mystery books can be any number between 41 and 49.
In other words, the possible total number of books could be three times the above numbers, 123, 126, 129,.... </span>
Choose the one that suits your answer choices.
Here are the following choices:
Which could be the number of books on the shelf?
A. 120 B 140 c 147 D 150
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
When doing these types of problems, the main goal is to get the variable by itself. Its kind of hard to explain with words so I will just use numbers.
15x + 14 = 149
(Subtract 14 on both sides. Remember, when you do something (Like subtracting, adding, etc.) on one side you have to do it to the other.)
15x + 14 = 149
-14 = -14
---------------------------
15x = 135
(Divide 15 on both sides. Since we need to use inverse operation to cancel the 15 out, we would divide 15 on both sides.)
15x/15 = 135/15
x = 9
Hope this helps :)
D=vt
d=105 x 3
d=315

Based on the statements provided, Barry will a have a Labrador, a Collie and a Staffie at home if he has at least one dog breed.
<h3>What is logical reasoning ?</h3>
Logical reasoning in mathematics is the process of using rational and critical thinking abilities to arrive at a conclusion about a problem.
Since Barry have at least one dog breed, the possible breeds of dogs that Barry have can be determined as follows:
Statement 1: If I have a Labrador but not a Staffie, I also have a Collie
Statement 2: I either have both a Collie and a Staffie or neither.
Statement 3: If I have a Collie, then I also have a Labrador.
- From Statement 1, If Barry will have a Labrador and Collie if he doesn't have a Staffie.
- From Statement 2, Barry will have both a Collie and a Staffie or he wont have either.
- From Statement 3, Barry must have a Labrador if I he has a Collie.
Therefore, Barry will have a Labrador, a Collie and a Staffie at home if he has at least one dog breed.
