3(x-2)=12

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

 

To solve this problem, first find the radius of the circle.

To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.

First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is two times width. Mathematically, this means

Length=2*width=2*x=2x

Now, the length is 6 less than 2 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:

Length =2x-6

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 2x-6.

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 usea calculator to find the product of

1.6*0.93=1.488

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

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.

to convert fraction to percent, multiply the fraction with 100%. Therefore, the percent equivalent of 3/4 is

3/4*100%=75%

Thus, 3/4is equal to 75%.

The babies' measured weights change over time and depend on the time interval after birth. Since weight is the outcome being measured, it is the dependent variable in the study.

The net income is the salary of the teacher gets after deducting total taxes.

Weekly net income=weekly gross income-total tax

Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax

Total tax=$(72.00+35.00+65.00)

Total tax=$172.00

Weekly net income=$(730.00-172.00)=$558.00

The net income the teacher gets in 4 weeks is what she gets in one week multiplied by 4

The teacher will earn a net income of $2,232.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.

: we are needed to find the portion of burger the two other friends share between themselves. A whole burger is 1, and we know that,

One friend=1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining amount=1-1/4=4/4-1/4=3/4

Thus, ¾ of burger is left for two friends to share among themselves. Then, each friend will get

So, the other two friends will each get 3/8 of the burger.
