There are a few ways to do this problem, but we will focus on the total number of votes method as follows. First, let Clinton = C, Gore = G, Paul = P, and Johnson = J. We know C + G + P + J = 150 million. We also know that C = 3J. Paul received 30% of the vote which is 150,000,000 * .3 = 45 million votes. Gore received 30 million votes. We can now create an equation with individual totals and substitute 3J for Clinton's vote total:

3J + 30 million + 45 million + J = 150 million

4J = 75 million

J = 18.75 million

Then C = 3J = 56.25 million. So Clinton received 56.25 million votes, Paul received 45 million votes, Gore received 30 million votes, and Johnson received 18.75 million votes.  The correct answer is Hillary Clinton.

Find how many free throws Justin made:  84 x 0.619 = 51.99.  Since the problem talks free throws, we round to 52 shots went in.  To calculate shots missed:

84 – 52 = 32.

Combine like terms by subtracting 6 from both sides so:  5x + 24 = –7x.  Then subtract 5x from both sides:  24 = –12x.  Divide both sides by –12 and x = –2.

ab - bc + d = d² - c²

We need to substitute values in for b, c, and d, and then solve the equation for a.

a(2) - 2(-1) + 0 = 0² - (-1)²

2a +2 + 0 = 0 - (1)

2a + 2 = -1

2a = -3

a = -3/2

The answer is -3/2.

First solve for x. The first equation would simplify as:

16 = 8x

x = 2

If we plug x = 2 into the second expression:

2(2) – 4 = 0 

0 is the correct answer.

To evaluate an expression we make substitutions into the expression

2(x – 3) + 5y² becomes 2(2 – 3) + 5 * 3² = –2 + 45 = 43

Use the first equation to solve for x, then plug into the 2nd equation to find a value.

5x³ = 40

x³ = 8

x = 2

12(2) – (2/2) = 24 – 1 = 23

Upstream:        p – w = (10/2)    or     p – w = 5 miles/hour

Downstream:    p + w = (27/3)    or    p + w = 9 miles/hour

Then we add the two equations together to cancel out the w's. After adding we see

2p = 14

p = 7 miles/hour   where p is the rate of the paddling. We plug p into the equation to find

w = 2 miles/hour    where w is the rate of the stream's water.

The answer is 23. 

Since Rachel and Claire are twins they are the same age. We will use the variable r to represent both Rachel and Claire's ages. 

From the question we can form two equations. They are:

t = r + 2       and     65 = t + 2r

lets plug the first equation into the second to solve for r.

65 = (r + 2) + 2r

65 = 3r +2

63 = 3r

r = 21      This means Rachel and Claire are 21 years old. Plug this into the equation so

t = 23       Tim is 23 years old. 

It's easiest if we convert all percentages to actual oz of water for each step here. As such, 35% of the 80 oz of drink B would have 0.35(80) = 28 oz of water in it. 

We can set up an equation that similarly converts each "percentage of a fixed weight of liquid" to ensure that our final weight is equivalent to 30% to the sum of drink A and B. On the left side, the fixed values are the percentages of each drink individually, and on the right side is what the question requires as a fixed percentage of the final weight:

0.2(A) + 0.35(80) = 0.3(A + 80)

0.2A + 28 = 0.3A + 24

A = 40 

Solving for A, we get 40 oz of A that must be poured into B. You may plug this back into the equation to check it.
