If you want to find out what that number is, then let's call it n
n + 3n (Three times the number) + 12 = 32
Simplify
4n + 12 = 32
Subtract 12 from each side
4n = 20
Divide each side by 4
n = 5
Answer:
11/15=x/240
240/15=16
11 x 16=176
11/15=176/240 or rather he completes 176 passes
Step-by-step explanation:
So the equation is x + 2x + 5= 29
Here are the steps -5 -5
-----------------------
3x = 24
Divide both sides by 3 so you get
x = 8
Then look back at the question, the second number has to be twice that number plus 5
So the 1st number is 8 The second # is 2(8)+5= 21
