Answer:
Amrita's number is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
x Double the unknown number
2x Add 9
2x + 9 Divide the answer by 3
2/3x + 3 Subtract 1
2/3x + 2 Set this equal to the original number
2/3x + 2 = x
-2/3x -2/3x Subtract 2/3x from both sides
2 = 1/3x Multiply both sides by 3
6 = x
Answer:
D. x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 17 to the other side of the equal sign
x=17+5
Then add 17 and -5
X=12
Let the shortest side be x. Then the other two sides will be x+1 and x+2.
Perimeter = P = sum of the lengths of all three sides = x + (x+1) + (x+2)
This perimeter = 4x -1 (1 less than 4 times the shortest side).
Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4x - 1
or: 3x + 3 = 4x -1 Subtr. 3x from both sides:
3 = x - 1
x=4, x+1=5, and x+2=6
The 3 sides have lengths 4, 5 and 6.
Simple: 3 shelves times 40 games = 120 games, 120-85= 35. So the answer is 35 games.
Well if the perimeter is 36in, then divide by 6 sides (the prefix hex- means six) to get 6. Don't forget your unit of measurement to be 6in of each side. It would be nice to have the picture though so if you could suply me with that it would help out.
