The correct way to write this equation is .25x-3=12. The .25 is interchangeable with $\frac{1}{4}$

Start first with the coefficient of x, which will be 1/4 as you want to find 1/4 of x. Now, minus 3 to that to give you 3 fewer than 1/4x. You know this equates to 12, so your expression is:
1/4x - 3 = 12
Or you can write it like this if you want to use brackets:
1/4(x-12)=12

Wheat contains about 2.5 kcal per gram, and the average U.S. male consumes 2500 kcal per day. How many hectares of wheat are nee

Yuri [45]

First of 30% of 2500kcal is 750kcal
if a male consumes 2.5 kcal then 750kcal / 2.5kcal = 300
but then we would need to know how many wheat are on one hectare of land.

Given matrix A below, and that A = B, find the value of the elements in B. A = 9 −2 3 2 17 0 3 22 8 b11 = b12 = b13 = b21 = b22

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

$b_{11}=9,b_{12}=-2,b_{13}=3,b_{21}=2,b_{22}=17,b_{23}=0,b_{31}=3,b_{32}=22,b_{33}=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given matrix

$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-2&3\\2&17&0\\3&22&8\end{array}\right]$

Let matrix B is

$B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}b_{11}&b_{12}&b_{13}\\b_{21}&b_{22}&b_{23}\\b_{31}&b_{32}&b_{33}\end{array}\right]$

It is given that

$A=B$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&-2&3\\2&17&0\\3&22&8\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}b_{11}&b_{12}&b_{13}\\b_{21}&b_{22}&b_{23}\\b_{31}&b_{32}&b_{33}\end{array}\right]$
