Answer:

Lindsey owns  12 books

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3x:Lindsay

x:Destiny

1/4x: Henry

1/3x+1/4x+x=57

4/12x+3/12x+x=57

7/12x+x=57

19/12x=57

x=57*12/19

x=36

1/3x=36/3

1/3x=12

Can please help!

Answer:
equation is: width = area / length
width = 62.5 yd

Explanation:
For the first rectangle:
We have:
length = 75 yd and width = 60 yd
Therefore:
area = length * width 
area = 75 * 60
area = 4500 yd²

For the second rectangle:
We have:
area = area of first rectangle = 4500 yd²
length = 72 yd
area = length * width
width = area / length ............> The required equation
width = 4500 / 72
width = 62.5 yd

Hope this helps :)

10x-5 9x+2 is my equation and I don’t know how to solve it I really need help,someone please help me solve it.

Answer:

  x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.

The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), <em>you must do it to both sides of the equation</em>.

We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:

  10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2

  x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify

Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:

  x -5 +5 = 2 +5

  x = 7 . . . . simplify

The solution is x = 7.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.

The school cafeteria served three kinds of lunches today to 225 students. The students chose the cheeseburgers three times more
r-ruslan [8.4K]

1)

Let the number of fish sandwiches sold br represented by x

Then the number of grilled cheese sold is 2X

and the number of cheeseburgers 3(2x)

x + 2x + 3(2x) = 225

and solve

2)

Let x represent the no. of pounds of peanuts

Then x + 14 represents the no of pounds of the mixture

And

(2.25)x + (3.25)(14) = (2.65)(x + 14

and solve

3) Try on your own

someone what is the answer to this. I got it wrong and what to do what the answer really is and please be 100 sure with your ans
zubka84 [21]
That would be 12<x
Its not 12 > x because that means that 12 is greater than x which is the same thing as x < 12.
Hope it helps
