Mathematics
1 answer:
EastWind [94]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

      First, we will write a mathematical equation for the phrase given.

-> Let n be "a number"

             four subtracted from twice a number is two

             four subtracted from twice a number = 2

             (twice a number) - 4 = 2

             2n - 4 = 2

      Now, we will solve this equation by isolating the variable.

             2n - 4 = 2

             2n = 6

             n = 3

Rob is saving to buy a new MP3 player. For every $13 he earns babysitting, he saves $9. On Saturday, Rob earned $78 babysitting.
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

54$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for each 13$ Rob earns babysitting, he saves 9$. Thus, we can separate the money he earns into groups of 13, and for each group of 13, we can add 9$ to his savings.

Assume that Rob has 78$ lying on a table. He grabs 13 of them, leaving 65, and puts 9$ to the side for savings. He does this 5 more times (as 65 divided by 13 is 5, so Rob would make 5 groups of 13 out of his 65$ that is left), meaning that he now has 5+1  (the original group) = 6 groups of 9. 9*6=54, so he saves 54$. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
