Since there are twice as many girls as boys, we know that 2b = g.

Since there are 24 total, we know that b + g = 24.

Substituting the first equation into the second equation yields

b + 2b = 24

3b = 24

b = 8

The problem is simple if you do not mix up your values and their meanings. What we know is that for 250 megawatts, we should have 250 times the expenses in each of our categories. Therefore, for our data, we know the following.

For salaries, we have $50,000 * 250 or $12,500,000.

For general expenses, we have $20,000 * 250 or $5,000,000

Therefore, our total is: $12,500,000 + $5,000,000 = $17,500,000

We also could have calculated this by adding $50,000 and $20,000 together to get $70,000 per megawatt. This would be $70,000 * 250 = $17,500,000 as well.

We have to solve the equation 4(3x – 2) = 12. First, we can distribute the left side.

4(3x) – 4(2) = 12

12x – 8 = 12

Then we add 8 to both sides.

12x = 20

Divide both sides by 12.

x = 20/12

Simplify 20/12 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4.

x = 20/12 = 5/3

The answer is 5/3. 

First, solve for x:

11 + 3x = 29

29 – 11 = 3x

18 = 3x

x = 6

Then, solve for 2x:

2x = 2 * 6 = 12

Create 3 separate equations to solve for each variable separately.

1) 2x = 48

2) 3y = 48

3) 6z = 48

x = 24

y = 16

z = 8

x * y * z = 3072

We must solve each absolute value equation separately for x and y. Remember that absolute values will always give two different values. In order to find these two values, we must set our equation to equal both a positive and negative value.

In order to solve for x in  3|x – 2| = 12,

we must first divide both sides of our equation by 3 to get |x – 2| = 4.

Now that we no longer have a coefficient in front of our absolute value, we must then form two separate equations, one equaling a positive value and the other equaling a negative value.

We will now get x – 2 = 4

and 

x – 2 = –4.

When we solve for x, we get two values for x:

x = 6 and x = –2.

Do the same thing to solve for y in the equation |y + 4| = 8

and we get

y = 4 and y = –12.

This problem asks us to solve for all the possible solutions of |x - y|.

Because we have two values for x and two values for y, that means that we will have 4 possible, correct answers.

|6 – 4| = 2

|–2 – 4| = 6

|6 – (–12)| = 18

|–2 – (–12)| = 10

In evaluating, we can simply plug in 4 and 2 for  and  respectively. We then get .

You have to form the difference first and must be enclosed in parentheses which gets multiplied by 1/3.  The word "equals" means the "=" symbol

In order to translate the description into an algebraic expression, you must first form the difference , multiply it by , and then set the equation equal to , as follows:

To solve this problem you should divide the total number of miles  by the miles per gallon , and then multiply by the cost of gas per gallon . This gives you , which is closest to .
