3
Explanation2x + 10 - 3 = 15 becomes 2x + 7 = 15. Subtracting 7 gives 2x = 8, so x = 4.
100
200
150
125
Explanation1/2 of 500 is 250. 40% of 250 is (40/100) * 250 = 100.
48 cm²
96 cm²
192 cm²
144 cm²
ExplanationPerimeter = 2(l + w). 40 = 2(12 + w) => 20 = 12 + w => w = 8. Area = 12 * 8 = 96.
$48
$50
$52
$60
ExplanationLet original price be x. 0.80x = 40 => x = 40 / 0.80 = 50.
150 meters
250 meters
300 meters
900 meters
ExplanationConvert speed to m/s: 60 * (1000/3600) = 16.67 m/s. Multiply by 15 seconds: 16.67 * 15 = 250 meters.
1.5
