5 less than a number x is 3 times the sum of a number x and 2? (i need a word problem not the answer)

Yesterday I squeezed 2 kilos of apples in a barrel.

Today I have picked 5 extra kilos of apples and save them in a basket.

By the end of the day, I want to squeeze some of them and add to the barrel.

Apple juice from the barrel is valued 3 times the same amount of raw apples.

I want to find how many apples I can squeeze today (x) such that the value of the remaining raw apples is equivalent to the total value of produced apple juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 5-x = 3 * (x + 2).

If x is the amount of apple to squeeze (in kilos) then 5-x is the remaining raw apples and x+2 is the total quantity of juice.

Since that juice is valued 3 times the raw apples we obtain the equivalence defined in the equation above.

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
