Answer:
Total number of choices with a straw: 12
Total number of choices without a straw: 12
Total number of choices: 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Taj has a choice of:
- water, iced tea, or lemonade (3 options)
- with lemon or lime twist (2 options)
- served in a small or large glass (2 options)
This made a total of 3*2*2: 12 different choices
if the drink can be served with or without a straw, he choices are doubled, making a total of 2*12 = 24
Answer: The number is 0.75 or 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = the number.
Now set up an equation: The product of a number (x) and -4 = -4x. So -4x is subtracted from the number - x. x-(-4x)
Then, that equals 3 more than the number (x) = x+3
So the equation is x-(-4x)=x+3.
Then, solve the equation!
x-(-4x)=x+3
x+4x=x+3 (Distribute the negative to the parentheses)
5x=x+3 (Combine like terms)
4x=3 (Get the Xs on one side by subtracting x from both sides)
x=0.75 or 3/4 (divide by the coefficiant, 4, on both sides)
