Twelve less than thrice a number

Which of the following translates the phrase above into a mathematical expression?

The truck carries a whole cargo which equals 1. If we let the weight of the cargo to be p, then we set up a proportion equation with weight as numerator and fraction of cargo as denominator.

Solve for value of p by cross products

Multiply both sides by 3/2 a reciprocal of 2/3

The truck carries a cargo weighing 795 lb.

We use 1 L =1000 mL to convert between the two units. The conversion options of interconversions are:

And

We want millimeters, use the second option to change L to mL as:

Therefore, 2.5 L is equivalent to 2500 mL.

We need to form a mathematical expression from the given word problem.

Let the unknown number be x.

Thrice a number is three times = 3x

Twelve less than thrice a number = 3x-12

Thus, the mathematical expression from the word problem is 3x-12

An independent variable is a change that when modified brings a change in other variables. In this case, the person increases his climbing rate, calories burned, distance traveled and energy used increases. Therefore, the walking speed is the independent variable while other variables are dependent.

The first five months of the year are January, February, March, April, and May. We use to graph to find the amount of rainfall in each month as follows:

In the month of January, rainfall was between o and 1, which is halfway. Therefore, rainfall in January is 0.5 inches

On February, rainfall was 1 inch and on March the rainfall was 2 inches.

On April, the rainfall amount was 4 inches while on month of May, the rainfall was about 3.5 inches. Therefore, total rainfall in the first 5 months was:

Total rainfall=0.5 inches+1 inches+ 2 inches+4 inches + 3.5 inches =11 inches

We need to find the radius of the circle from the given value of area. Then, the radius of the circle will be used to find the circumference of the circle.

The first step is to find the radius, r of the circle as

Thus, the circumference of a circle whose area is \(9\pi\ in\ ^2\)is 6 in.

Before finding the area of the pizza, we need to find the radius of the pizza.

Find radius of the pizza in terms of diameter

Next, find area of the pizza using the radius of 6 inches

Substituting r=6 in the equation of the area of a circle

Thus, the pizza has an area of 36 π in2.

To solve the equation this equation, we compute the multiplication of the two numbers using the calculator

3.60 * 0.75 = 2.7

Let x be the original price of the recliner.

Step 1: Apply the 30% discount

The recliner is on sale for 30% less than the original price:

SalePrice=x−0.3x=0.7x

Step 2: Apply the 25% coupon discount

The consumer gets an additional 25% off the sale price:

FinalPrice=0.7x−0.25(0.7x) = 0.525x

Step 3: Solve for x

The consumer paid $237, so:

0.525x=237

​ x≈451.43x

Rounding to the nearest dollar, the original price is $451.

We use the order of operation to solve for the unknown value of x.

3(3x+3)=8x+5

Multiply 3 with each number in the brackets

(3*3x)+(3*3)=8x+5

9x+9=8x+5

Subtract 9 from both sides

9x+9-9=8x+5-9

9x=8x-4

Subtract 8x on both sides

9x-8x=8x-8x-4

x=-4

Thus, the unknown value of x is -4.
