Answer:
C. 109x
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there are 109 students in the fourth grade, who each have x cupcakes. In order to find the total amount of cupcakes, we could add all of the cupcakes together to get:
x + x + x + x + .... x
109 times because there are 109 students.
This can be simplified to become 109x.
520 miles.
Ross would be driving double the hours so 260x2=520
To solve this question, we just need to insert 12 into the m position of each question and see if the equation holds true.
a. 4m = 40
4(12) = 40
48 = 40
48 obviously does not equal 40, so it is not choice A.
b. m + 20 = 42
12 + 20 = 42
32 = 42
Again, 32 isn't the same as 42, so not choice B either.
c. 4m = 48
4(12) = 48
48 = 48
It looks like this one is true, but let's solve D also just to make sure.
d. m - 4 = 9
12 - 4 = 9
8 = 9
This is false, since 8 does not equal 9.
Therefore, choice C (4m = 48) is the correct answer.
Hope that helped! =)
Mike age is 3 less then twice the age of his brother nuke.
M = Mike's age now
N = Nuke's age now
M = 2N - 3
Ten years ago, four times nuke's age was one more mike's age.
M-10 = Mike's age 10 years ago
N-10 = Muke's age 10 years ago
4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10
what are their present ages
find M and N
substitute M = 2N - 3 into 4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10:
4(N - 10) = 1 + [2N - 3] - 10
4N - 40 = 2N - 12
2N = 28
N = 14
M = 2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25
Mike is 25 and Nuke is 14.
check:
4(14 - 10) = 4(4) = 16 = 26 -10 = 1 + 25 - 10
