Answer:

The number of boys who play tennis is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys who play tennis is x.

number of boys who play cricket = y

x = 3 y..... (1)  

12 boys plays both cricket and tennis.

According to the question,

x - 12 = y + 1 2

3 y - 12 = y + 12

2 y = 24

y = 12

So, the number of boys who plays tennis is x = 3 x 12 = 36.

What value of x is in the solution set of 9(2x + 1) &lt; 9x - 18?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

b. -3

Step-by-step explanation:

9(2x+1) < 9x-18

(distribute the 9)

18x+9 <9x-18

(subtract 9 from both sides)

18x<9x-27

(subtract 9x from both sides)

9x<-27

(divide both sides by 9)

x<-3
