Using distributive property, we get:
3x-9=0
3x=9
x=3
So, x=3. Now that was easy, huh? :)
hopefully this will help ( ;
Answer:
Option E.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the intended length of Rebecca's swimming is = x units
and we assume the length of the pool = l units
Now it is given in the question that " She covers one fifth of her intended distance "
That means distance covered = 
" After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance"
So 


x = 20×(6l)
x = 120l
Therefore, Rebecca has to complete 120 lengths of the pool.
Option E is the answer.
t=100
p=3000
t 1/2 = 20
Try inserting the numbers in the half-life formula.
