Answer: The correct option is (B) 4.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of x in the following equation :

$1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

To find the value of x, we need to solve equation (i) for x.

The solution of equation (i) is s follows :

$1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+3=4.5x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 4.5x-1.5x=3+9\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=12\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{12}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=4.$

Thus, the required value of x is 4.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 3.5(x - 2)

We need to use the distributive property to simplify this.

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 3.5x - 7

Subtract 1.5x from both sides

6 - 3 = 2x - 7

Simplify left side

3 = 2x - 7

Add 7 to both sides

10 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

x = 5

The density of granite is about 2.75 grams per cubic centimeter. Suppose you have a granite countertop for a kitchen that is 1 m

stellarik [79]

Answer:

$330\ kg$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1 kg=1,000 g

1 m= 100 cm

The volume of the granite countertop in cubic centimeters is equal to

$V=(100)(300)(4)\ cm^{3}$

The density in kg per cubic centimeter is equal to

$D=2.75(\frac{1}{1,000}) \frac{kg}{cm^{3}}$

Multiply the density by the volume

$2.75(\frac{1}{1,000})(100)(300)(4)$

$2.75(120)=330\ kg$

In 10 minutes, Max ran 1.45 km while Avery ran 1.61 km. How much more did Avery run?

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

0.16km

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless I am missing something it is a simple subtraction problem and the time is not needed. It is simply asking how much farther Avery ran than Max, which is 1.61km - 1.45km which is 0.16km
