Answer: x = 13

Step-by-step explanation: the equation to solve this is:

4 × (4 + 8) = 3 × (3 + x)

so we solve the first half of that:

4 × (4 + 8)

4 × 12

now we have:

48 = 3 × (3 + x)

so we switch the sides to make it easier and solve

3 × (3 + x) = 48

divide both sides by 3

3 × (3 + x) ÷ 3 = 48 ÷ 3

and get

3 + x = 16

now subtract 3 from both sides

3 + x = 16

-3 -3

and finally we get

x = 13

hope this helped :)

Part A: Clancey and Ethan are starting new books. So far, Clancey has read 1/4 of his book, which has 240 total pages and Ethan

Nonamiya [84]

In order to find who has read more pages, let's find the number of pages read by each one.

The number of pages read by Clancey is:

$\frac{1}{4}\cdot240=\frac{240}{4}=60$

The number of pages read by Ethan is:

$\frac{2}{5}\cdot170=\frac{340}{5}=68$

So Ethan read more pages.

The combined number of pages in both books is 240 + 170 = 410.

The combined number of pages read is 60 + 68 = 128

So the fraction is:

$\frac{128}{410}=\frac{64}{205}$

Alexxx [7]

58 plus tip of .20

58 times 0.2 = 11.6 is the tip

now we add tax (Presuming we son't tax the tip)

58 times 0.07 = 4.06 the tax

so its

58 + 11.6 + 4.06 = $73.66 total cost

The answer is C because the radius is half of the cylinder which is 2 so the Diameter will be 4 meaning the whole cylinder and 8 times 4 is 32.

I would really appreciate if I got brainliest :)

Eleanor and her little sister Joanna are responsible for two chores on their family’s farm, gathering eggs and collecting milk.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

4 dozens

Step-by-step explanation:

Find Eleanor and Joanna's ratio of eggs to milk

Eleanor:

Dozen eggs : gallons of milk

9 : 3

3 : 1

Joanna:

Dozen eggs : gallons of milk

2 : 2

1 : 1

They gather one gallon of milk each which means Joanna has 1 dozen eggs and Eleanor has 3 dozens of eggs.

Total dozen of eggs = 3 + 1 = 4

Therefore, total dozen of eggs the family have per week is 4 dozens.
