Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The three sides add to 51

n + 4n-4 + 4n-8 = 51

9n -12 = 51

9n = 63

n = 7 4n-4 = 24 4n-8 = 20

If x - 12y = -210 and x - 6y = 90, then x =

Annette [7]

X=-198(substitute the value of x into the equation)
x-6y=90

-198-6y=90(solve the equation)

y=-48(a possible solution is)

(x,y)=(198,-48). (check yhe solution)

-198-12= 210(simplify)
-198-6(-48)=90

-210=-210( the ordered pair is a solution)
90=90

(x,y)=(198,-48)
is the answer

Translate the sentence into an equation Twice the difference of a number and 9 is equal to 5use the variable w for the unknown n

TEA [102]

Let w the unknown number. Then, you have

$\begin{gathered} 2(w-9)\rightarrow\text{ Twice the difference of a number and 9} \\ 2(w-9)=5\rightarrow\text{Twice the difference of a number and 9 is equal to 5} \end{gathered}$
