Answer:
it represents the top and the bptto
Let's call the number x. So four times the number minus five would look like
4x-5
Twice the number plus three would look like
2x+3
Now make the two equations equal
4x-5=2x+3
I'm going to subtract 2x from each side
2x-5=3
Now I'm going to add five to each side
2x=8
Now divide both sides by 2
x=4
To double check, just plug back into the original equations
4(4)-5=11
2(4)+3=11
They are equal, so the answer is x=4.
Answer:
Journeysmith5 is wrong. It can be simplified. The answer is 5 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with the whole numbers, -2 - -7 = +5, because two negatives in the equation will equal to positive. Then from there there's only one of the results with positive 5, 5 1/6. But we can still prove the answer, we work with the fractions. 1/6 - 1/3 equals to around 0.16 continuing. If you divided 100 by 6, you would get 16, meaning that 0.16 is 1/6 of a whole number. Making your answer 5 1/6.
