Answer: 2x-6
Work Shown:
john = x
sam = x-3 since he scored 3 fewer than john
rob = 2*(sam) = 2(x-3) = 2*x-2*3 = 2x-6
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Harpreet = x + 3
Sukhpreet = x
Komalpreet = 2*(x + 3)
Average Age = 15
Equation
[(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15 Multiply both sides by 3
Solution
3 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15 * 3 Combine
[(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] = 45 Remove the brackets
x + 3 + x + 2x + 6 = 45 Combine like terms
4x + 9 = 45 Subtract 9 from both sides
4x + 9 - 9 = 45 - 9 Combine
4x = 36 Divide by 4
4x/4 = 36/4
x = 9
Answer
Harpreet is x+ 3 = 9 + 3 = 12
Number of pounds of cashews is 36 pounds and number of pounds of walnuts is 4 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given details are cost of cashews = $1.58, cost of walnuts = 78 cents = $0.78, total weight of nuts = 40 pounds, cost of nuts per pound = $1.50
- Step 2: Let number of pounds of cashews to be mixed be C, then number of pounds of walnuts will 40 - C. Form equation with these variables.
⇒ 1.58 C + (40-C) 0.78 = 40 × 1.50
⇒ 1.58 C + 31.2 - 0.78 C = 60
⇒ 1.58 C - 0.78 C = 60 - 31.2
⇒ 0.8 C = 28.8
⇒ C = 36 pounds
- Step 3: Calculate number of pounds of walnuts
⇒ Number of pounds of walnuts = 40 - C = 4 pounds
5 hours because 7/5 *5/1=35/5 and 35 divided by 5 equals 7
60*115/100=69
Retail price is 69
