Write an equation for the
statement: 12 larger than 3 times a number is 27.
show/explain how you got your answer for brainiest

12 + 3x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

statement: 12 larger than 3 times a number is 27

it translates to

12  larger than   3 times a number  = 27

the equal sign replaces the "is"

let the unknown number be x

so...

12  larger than  3*x = 27

the "larger than"  means plus

so  12 + 3x = 27

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
