A number x is decreased by 45. The result is then divided by 12. Then 20 is added to this new result to give a final result of five times the difference of 32 and the number x
(This is a little difficult but I've got it)
((x - 45)/12) + 20 = 5(32 - x)
(I made the equation a little more complex than I should have but that equation should still work if you were to solve for x)
Hey there!!
Let's get this step by step
x is decreased by 45 = x - 45
Result is divided by 12 = ( x - 45 ) / 12
Then, 20 is added to the result
[ ( x - 45 ) / 12 ] + 20
Result =
Five times the difference of 32 and x = 5 ( 32 - x )
Hence, the equation
[ ( x - 45 ) / 12 ] + 20 = 5 ( 32 - x )
( x - 195 ) / 12 = 160 - 5x
Multiply 12 on both sides
x - 195 = 12 ( 160 - 5x )
x - 195 = 1920 - 60x
Add 60x on both sides and add 195 on both sides
61x = 2115
divide by 61 on both sides
x = 34.67
x = 34.7
Hence, the required answer is 34.7 this can be rounded to 35
Hope my answer helps!
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
8 white marbles and 48 marbles
each sample contains 2 white
so first
8 divide 2 = 4
then second
48 divide 4= 12
hope this helps
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+5)=12
Divide each side by 3
3/3(x+5)=12/3
x+5 = 4
Subtract 5 from each side
x+5-5 = 4-5
x = -1
Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+5)=12
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(x+5)=12
(3)(x)+(3)(5)=12(Distribute)
3x+15=12
Step 2: Subtract 15 from both sides.
3x+15−15=12−15
3x=−3
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x
3
=
−3
3
x=−1
