Answer:
6x - 4 = 32. The variable (times a number) is equal to 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
So this equation is basically asking you to formulate an equation using only the words given. For this equation, let's use a variable in place of the part where it says "times a number." When a question says that phrase, that means that they are telling you to use a variable in place of a mystery number. A variable is a letter in place of a mystery number. Knowing this, let's now solve the equation. We will use the variable x in place of our mystery number.
Four less than 6 times a number: 6x - 4 _ __.
Now we can add the equal sign and the 32: 6x - 4 = 32.
We can now solve. Add 4 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -4:
6x - 4 = 32
<u>+4 + 4</u>
6x = 36
Now we divide 6 into both sides of the equation to single out the x.
<u>6x = 36</u>
6 6
36/6 = 6, so:
x = 6
I hope that this helps.
Answer:
1.30 p.M.
Step-by-step explanation:
The factory whistle blowed at 1:00 p.M, and it blows every 30 minutes, so it will blow again at 1:30 p.M.
The clock tower chimed at 1.00 p.M., and it chimes every 15 minutes, so it will chime again at 1:15 p.M, and after that, it will chime again at 1:30 p.M.
So, you will hear them both at the same time at 1:30 p.M.
We can also solve this problem using LCM:
the least commom multiple between 15 and 30 is 30, so we just need to sum 30 to the inicial time (1:00 p.M.), so the time they will "find each other" again is 1.30 p.M.
