This is the algebraic expression for "3 less than twice a number"
What is 2x - 3 ?
200
This is the answer to "4 less than 3 times a number is 11"
What is 5?
"4 less than 3 times a number is 11" is written in an equation as 3x - 4 = 11
If we are subtracting 4 FROM 3x a number to get 11, then adding 4 TO the number 11 would give us the actual 3x value
3x = 15
x = 5

Ben rented a car. It cost $20.00 plus $0.10 per mile. If Ben paid $50.00 for the car rental, how many miles did he drive the car?
Write an equation and then use your equation to find your answer.
$20.00 + $0.10m = $50.00 is the equation and
Ben drove 300 miles
Explanation:
$20.00 - $20.00 + $0.10m = $50.00 - $20.00
$0.10m = $30.00
$0.10m/$0.10 = $30.00/$0.10
m = 300

This is the expression for "the quotient of 3 times a number and 7"
What is 3x / 7 ?
300
The answer to "the quotient of a number and 7 is 63" is this....
What is 441?
"the quotient of a number and 7 is 63" can be written as x / 7 = 63
Since some number is being divided into 7 equal groups of 63, the actual number must be 7 times larger than 63
441 / 7 = 63

Sophia’s grandmother gave her $150 for singing lessons. She paid $10 for each lesson. How many lessons has she attended, if she still has $60 left. Write an equation and then use your equation to find your answer.
$10.00L + $60.00 = $150.00 is the equation and Sophia attended 9 lessons
Explanation:
$10.00L + $60.00 - $60.00 = $150.00 - $60.00
$10.00L = $90.00
$10.00L / $10.00 = $90.00 / $10.00
L = 9 Lessons

This is the expression for "2 less than the product of a number and 6"
What is 6x - 2 ?
400
What is the answer to "6 more than the product of a number and 12 = 90" ?
What is 7?
12x + 6 = 90
If we subtract 6 from 12x and 90, we would get that 12x = 84
x must be 7 because 7 times 12 = 84
12(7) + 6 = 90
84 + 6 = 90
90 = 90

Captain America, (Steve Rogers) is from Brooklyn. The population on Brooklyn on July 4, 1918 when his MCU birth occurred was approximately 1,900,000 people.
Spiderman, (Peter Parker) is from Queens. The population on August 10, 2001 when his MCU birth occurred was approximately 2,300,000 people.
1/7 of their sum is this number....
What is 600,000 ?
1,900,000 + 2,300,000 = 4,200,000
4,200,000 x (1/7) = 600,000

This is the expression for "10 less than the quotient of 3 times a number and 12"
What is (3x / 12) - 10 ?
500
The answer to "4 less than the quotient of 3 times a number and 7 = 20" is.....
What is 56?
"4 less than the quotient of 3 times a number and 7 = 20" is written as (3x / 7) - 4 = 20
If we didn't take 4 away from 3x/7 to get 20, we would see that 3x/7 alone is equal to 24
(3x / 7) = 24
So whatever 3x is, if we broke that into 7 groups, there would be 24 in each group.
The number that 3x is equivalent to (if we added all 7 groups of 24 together) would be 168
So 168 is the same as 3x
3x = 168
x = 56
(3(56)/ 7) - 4 = 20
(168/7) - 4 = 20
24 - 4 = 20
20 = 20

When Bruce Banner becomes the Incredible Hulk, he transforms from 5 foot 9 inches (69inches) to 8 feet tall (96inches) and his weight goes from 129 pounds to 1,400 pounds
If his gamma radiation causes a constant rate of change, making him get even TALLER & HEAVIER, what would the constant be in his height "x" and what would the other constant be for his weight "y" (both to the nearest thousandth) ?
What is x = 1.391 and y = 10.853 ?
96in / 69in = 1.391 to the nearest thousandth
1400lbs / 129lbs = 10.853 to the nearest thousandth
