Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be "the number."  

"Three times a number" means 3x

"is 24 less than the number" means = x-24

Put them togehter:

3x = x-24

2x = -24

x = -12

Check:  Is 3(-12) = 24 less than -12?  YES.

A bag contains 42 red marbles, 6 white marbles, and 8 gray marbles. You randomly pick out a marble, record its color, and put it
Elanso [62]
For any single draw,

\mathbb P(\text{white})=\dfrac6{42+6+8}=\dfrac6{56}
\mathbb P(\text{gray})=\dfrac8{42+6+8}=\dfrac8{56}

Drawing a white marble or a gray marble are disjoint events; only one of them can happen. So

\mathbb P(\text{white or gray})=\mathbb P(\text{white})+\mathbb P(\text{gray})-\underbrace{\mathbb P(\text{white and gray})}_0
\mathbb P(\text{white or gray})=\dfrac6{56}+\dfrac8{56}=\dfrac{14}{56}

Out of 224 draws, you should expect \dfrac{14}{56}\times224=56 of the marbles to be either white or gray.

A) is right
b) just subtract ljm and kjm so 145-48 = 92°
c) 9x-25=7x+7 so here you put npq=mpq+mpn and you combine terms so it's now 2x=32 then divide by 2 on both sides and x= 16
now you just plug it into 3x-5 and you get 43°

Meg lives in Indianapolis and wants to visit her mom in Lima. She has been meaning to go to a chiropractor in Dayton, so she is
ella [17]

Answer: 44 miles

WORKINGS

Given,
The distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL = 173 miles
The distance between Indianapolis and Dayton, ID = 165 miles
The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL is unknown

Since there are straight roads connecting the three cities, the connection between them form a right angles triangle.

The right angle is at Dayton
The hypotenuse is the distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL

Therefore IL^2 = ID^2 + DL^2
173^2 = 165^2 + DL^2
DL^2 = 173^2 – 165^2
DL^2 = 29929 – 27225
DL^2 = 2704
DL = 52 miles

Therefore, The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL = 52 miles

The question is asking how many more miles would Meg drive if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.

That is, Distance of Indianapolis to Dayton + Distance of Dayton to Lima – Direct distance of Indianapolis to Lima
That is, ID + DL – IL
= 165 miles + 52 miles – 173 miles
= 217 miles – 173 miles
= 44 miles

Therefore, Meg would drive 44 more miles if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.
