If 2(3 − x) = x − 9, what is x?
Answer: 5
6 − 2x = x − 9 → 15 = 3x → x = 5.
A recipe requires flour and sugar in a ratio of 5:2. If a baker uses f cups of flour and the total of both ingredients is 28 cups, how many cups of flour are used?
Answer: 20
Flour is 5/7 of 28 = 20.
Solve for x: x/5 + x/10 = 9
Answer: 30
2x/10 + x/10 = 9 → 3x/10 = 9 → x = 30.
A basketball player's free-throw percentage improves by 4 points each week. After w weeks his percentage is 68. It started at 52. How many weeks have passed?
Answer: 4
52 + 4w = 68 → 4w = 16 → w = 4.
If 5x + 3 = 4(x + 2), what is the value of x?
Answer: 5
5x + 3 = 4x + 8 → x = 5.
Solve for n: (n − 4)/3 + 2 = 5
Answer: 13
(n − 4)/3 = 3 → n − 4 = 9 → n = 13.
Two workers together earn $540 for a job. Worker A earns twice as much as Worker B. How much does Worker B earn?
