Answer:

Equation = 3x - 6 = 18

Solving of equation =

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

Now let us first set an equation

less than means - subtraction

3x - 6 = 18

Now let us solve the equation and find the value of x

3x - 6 = 18

Transpose

3x = 18 +6

3x = 24

x = 24 ÷ 3

x = 8

Equation = 3x - 6 = 18

Solving of equation =

x = 8

8

3x-6=18
3x = 24
so, x = 24/3 = 8

A zookeeper predicted the weight of a new baby elephant to be 230 pounds when I was born the elephant actually weigh 262 pounds

insens350 [35]

Answer:

13.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Expected weight = 230 pounds

Actual weight= 262 pounds

Required

The percent error

Error= Actaul- expected/ expected *100

Error= 262-230/230*100

Error=32/230*100

Error=0.139*100

Error=13.9%

Hence the error is 13.9%

A changes saved Set up a proportion and use it to solve for x. 2 10 х 3

V125BC [204]

Answer:

C. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The following proportional can be set-up for the figure given:

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{10 + 2}{10}$

Solve for x

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{12}{10}$

$\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{6}{5}$

Cross multiply

$5(x + 3) = x(6)$

$5x + 15 = 6x$

15 = 6x - 5x

15 = x

x = 15

What is the slope y+2=1/4(x-3)

ioda

Answer:

$m=\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y+2=\frac{1}{4}(x-3)$

Required

Find the slope

$y+2=\frac{1}{4}(x-3)$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$y+2-2=\frac{1}{4}(x-3) - 2$

$y=\frac{1}{4}(x-3) - 2$

Open bracket

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}*3 - 2$

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{4} - 2$

Take LCM

$y=\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{-3 - 8}{4}$

$y=\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{-11}{4}$

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{11}{4}$

An equation has the form:

$y = mx + b$

Where

$m = slope$

By comparing: $y = mx + b$ and $y=\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{11}{4}$

$m=\frac{1}{4}$

So, the slope is 1/4
