Answer:

<u>The number is 296.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call "x" to the number we are looking for.

Now, the problem states that "5 more than the quotient of a number and 8 is 42". This means that this number is being divided by 8, it's also being additioned 5 and the final result is 42. Therefore, the expression of this operations on this number is the following:

\frac{x}{8}+5=42. Let's solve the equation to find x.

1. Write the expression.

\frac{x}{8}+5=42

2. Substract 5 from both sides and simplify.

\frac{x}{8}+5-5=42-5\\\\\frac{x}{8}=37\\\\

3. Multiply 8 on both sides and simplify.

8*\frac{x}{8}=37*8\\\\x=296

<u>We have found our number, it's 296!</u>

0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 points on a line so we can use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (4-4)/(-10-7)

   = 0/-17

In Algebra, an inequality is a mathematical statement that uses the inequality symbol to illustrate the relationship between two expressions. An inequality symbol has non-equal expressions on both sides. It indicates that the phrase on the left should be bigger or smaller than the expression on the right, or vice versa. Literal inequalities are relationships between two algebraic expressions that are expressed using the inequality symbols.

NO. OF LIONS = 9

Cubs are fewer than 9
