The equation is 138=300-3x
now solve by first subtracting 300 from each side: -162=-3x
divide each side by -3: x=54

In 2000 Emily was 9 years old.
Given that in the year 2015 Emily was three times as old as Kaitlin while by the year 2021 Kaitlin will be half as old as Emily will be, to determine how old was Emily on the year 2000 the following calculation must be performed:
- 2015 = E = 3K
- 2021 = E = 2K
- 24 /// 8 --- 30 /// 14
- 18 /// 6 --- 24 /// 12
- 18/6 = 3
- 24/12 = 2
- 2015 = Emily was 24 years old
- 24 - (2015 - 2000) = X
- 24 - 15 = X
- 9 = X
Therefore, in 2000 Emily was 9 years old.

Answer:
<h3>
<em><u>2√6</u></em> is the right answer.</h3>
You'll have to set this up as two separate problems. First, we want to take 15% off the original $20 bill. To do this, you're going to multiply 20 by .15, which gives you $3. So, 15% off $20 is $17.
Now, we want to find 7% of the new bill, so we're going to multiply 17 by .07 to get $1.19, and add it to the $17, making the final bill $18.19. You could also multiply $17 by 1.07 to get your final total without the extra step in the middle, but only do that once you're comfortable with the math.
Pls give brainiest
Both numbers have the variable x so you add 5 and 12 which gives you 17 and you need to write the variable. The answer is 17x
