Let us consider the number to be 'n'.

<u>Given condition</u> :

  • 7n + 8 = 5n + 4

<u>Subtract '5n' from each side</u> :

  • 7n + 8 - 5n = 5n + 4 - 5n
  • 2n + 8 = 4

<u>Subtract '8' from each side</u> :

  • 2n + 8 - 8 = 4 - 8
  • 2n = -4

<u>Divide '2' from each side</u> :

  • 2n/2 = -4/2
  • \fbox {n = -2}

∴ The number is -2.

Solve the system of equations algebraically.<br> 4x - 3y = 6<br> 6x - 5y = 6
muminat

Answer: x=6  y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle\\\left \{ {{4x-3y=6} \atop {6x-5y=6}} \right.\\

Since the right parts of the equation are equal, therefore the left parts of the equation are also equal:

4x-3y=6x-5y\\4x-3y+5y=6x-5y+5y\\4x+2y=6x\\4x+2y-4x=6x-4x\\2y=2x\\

Divide both parts of the equation by 2:

y=x\\Hence,\\4x-3x=6\\x=6\\Thus,\\x=y=6

Answer:

CA = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

By intersecting chords theorem:

12(4x + 1) = 14(3 + 3x) \\  \\ 48x + 12 = 42 + 42x \\  \\ 48x - 42x = 42 - 12 \\  \\ 6x = 30 \\  \\ x =  \frac{30}{6}  \\  \\ x = 5

CA = 14 + ( 3 + 3x)

CA = 14 + ( 3 + 3*5)

CA = 14 + ( 3 + 15)

CA = 14 + 18

CA = 32
