Answer:

21kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We will do this.

11x - 12 = 7x

11x - 4x = 7x

4x = 12

4x/4 = 12/4

x = 3

3 x 7 = 21

Laura weighs 21 kg.

Two trains are traveling towards each other at a constant speed. The trains are currently 714 miles from each other. The speeds
shutvik [7]
55mph.

you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time

your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours. 
your equation would look like this
714 = x(7) + (x+8)(7)
and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The price increased from 800 to 900. So what is the PERCENTAGE INCREASE??

The increase is 900 - 800 = 100

To find this in terms of original, we need to divide 100 by 800 and multiply by 100 to get the "percentage". Let's do it:

\frac{100}{800}*100=12.5

So the increase is 12.5% and thus the general sales tax is 12.5%
