Mathematics

guapka [62]2 years ago

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x, we get:

16=2(3x-6)+x

16=2*3x+2(-6)+x (Distributive Property of Multiplication)

16=6x-12+x (Multiply distributed terms)

16=7x-12 (Combine like terms)

16+12=7x-12+12 (Add 12 to both sides of the equation to isolate x)

28=7x (Combine like terms / Simplify)

\frac{28}{7}=\frac{7x}{7} (Divide both sides of the equation by 7 to get rid of x's coefficient)

\bf x=4 (Simplify / Symmetric Property of Equality)

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

16 = 2(3x - 6) + x \\ 16 = 6x - 12 + x \\  - 6x  - x =  - 12 - 16 \\  - 7x =  - 12 - 16 \\ 7x = 12 + 16 \\ 7x = 28 \\ x =  \frac{28}{7}  \\ x = 4

There are 135 people in a sport centre. 73 people use the gym. 59 people use the swimming pool. 31 people use the track. 19 peop
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

24 people

Step-by-step explanation:

((The numbers are up there, so I am not going to define each variable.))

For starters, there is no overlap between the double facilities groups, except the triple facility users, so:

19 + 9 + 16 - 4 = 40 people

Since there is overlap between single and double groups, you will need to subtract, so:

Gym: 73 - 19 - 16 = 38

Pool: 59 - 19 - 9 = 31

Track: 31 - 9 - 16 = 6

Total for 1 facility: 38 + 31 + 6 - 4 = 71 people

((Minus 4 because the 4 triple facility users overlap the double facility users (problem is in layers: layer 1 minus layer 2, then minus layer 3).))

Next, add the totals:

71 + 40 = 111 people (using facilities)

135 - 111 = 24 people (who didn't use any)

(((I'm not 100% sure on this answer, so if someone could check my work, that would be much appreciated.)))
