3(2x+5)=11x+5

Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is correct?

Looking at the give curve, we analyze each statement as:

• For statement 1: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is false.
• For statement 2: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season and not in 2003-04 season. So, the statement is false.
• For statement 3: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game. So, this statement is false.
• For statement 4: the two season which no change in the points were 2012-13 and 2013-14. So this is true according to given curve.

In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:

So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38

There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

We convert the given word problem into a mathematical expression.

Let the number be x.

Thrice a number = 3x

Twelve less than thrice a number = 3x-12

Thus, the required mathematical expression is 3x-12

We are needed to find the amount Jacob will be left with after spending and reinvesting the rest using the given information.

Amount Jacob spends=87% of $100=87/100*100=$87

Amount left to invest=$(100-87)=$13

Jacob is left with $13, which she invests and earns a profit of 75%.

Profit earned on invested amount=75% of $13=75/100*13=$9.75

So, Jacob will have $13+$9.75=$22.75

We need to find the radius in order to find the area of the pizza.

Radius of pizza

The area of the pizza

But r=4.5

Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25  in2.

NOTE:  is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.

Let's calculate the number of each color of gumball:

• Red: 20% of 120 → 0.2×120=24
• Orange: 30% of 120 → 0.3×120=36
• Yellow: 5% of 120 → 0.05×120=6
• Green: 10% of 120 → 0.1×120=12
• Blue: The remaining percentage: 100%−(20%+30%+5%+10%) = 100%−65% =35%
• So, 0.35×120=42 blue gumballs.

Now, we find how many more blue gumballs there are than yellow:

42−6=36

We follow the order operations to solve for the unknown value of x.

3(2x+5)=11x+5

Open the bracket on the LHS by multiplying each term by 3

(3*2x)+(3*5)=11x+5

6x+15=11x+5

Subtract 15 from both sides

6x+15-15=11x+5-15

6x=11x-10

Subtract 11x on both sides

6x-11x=11x-11x-10

-5x=-10

Divide both sides by -5

-5x/-5=-10/-5

x= 2

Thus, the value of unknown value of x is 2.

The distribution of the weights of the newborn babies is symmetric meaning the mean, mode, and median are all equal. Thus, the bell-shape curve describes this kind of distribution of weights

When solving percent problems, the following words and their meaning becomes handy.

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x represent the amount of tip the couple want to leave behind, then

So, the couple will leave a tip of $2.84, which is about $3.00

: the question requires we find the cost of four syringes.

If we let x be the cost of four syringes, then we set up a proportion equation with cost as numerator and number of syringes as denominator. The proportion equation becomes

Cross-multiply to solve for x

Rearranging the above

Divide both sides of the equation by 55

Thus, the cost of 4 syringes is $48.
