Shoe sizes and foot length are related by the formula S=3F-24, where S represents the shoes size and F represents the length of the foot, in inches.
A. Solve the formula for F
3F = S+24
F = (1/3)S + 8
-----------------------
B. To the nearest tenth of an inch, how long is the foot of a person who wears a size 10 1/2 Shoe?
---
F(10 1/2) = (1/3)(10 1/2) + 8
F(10 1/2) = (1/3)(21/2) + 8
F(10 1/2) = 11 1/2 inches
================================
Solve for x: 2(x-3)= 1.2-x
2x-6 = 1.2-x
3x = 7.2
x = 2.4
================

+S=3F-24
A. Slove the formula for F
+3F=S%2B24
+F=%28S%2B24%29%2F3
B.
a size 10++1%2F2+shoe
+F=%28S%2B24%29%2F3
+F=%2810+%281%2F2%29%2B24%29%2F3
+F=%2834.5%29%2F3
+F=11.5

2.
Solve for x: 2%28x-3%29=+1.2-x

2x-6=+1.2-x
2x%2Bx=+1.2%2B6
3x=+7.2
x=+7.2%2F3
x=+2.4
