Answer:
The value of x is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is:

We have to solve this for x.
First we will multiply both sides of the equation by 3

2(x-2) = 12x
2x-4=12x
Now we will be subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation
2x-2x-4=12x-2x
-4=10x
10x=-4
Dividing both sides by 10

Hence,
The value of x is
.
Answer:
This problem can be solved by working backwards.
Average of 30 students = 70.
Total marks of all the 30 students = 30x70 = 2100
Out of these 30, average of 20 students = 62
Total marks of these 30 students = 30x62 = 1860
So the total marks of the remaining 10 students = 2100-1860 = 240
Hence the average of the remaining 10 students = 240/10 = 24
Answer: 128 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be W then the length will be 2W since it is twice as long as it width.
The formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is given by :
P = 2 ( L + W )
48 = 2 ( W + 2W )
48 = 2(3W)
48 = 6W
Divide through by 6
Therefore:
W = 48/6
W = 8 inches
This means that the Length is 2 x 8 = 16 inches
Area = Length x breadth
Area = 16 x 8
Area = 128
