You multiply a number by 3 subtract 6 then add 2 the results is 20

what's the number ?

Let the number = x

multiply a number by 3

so, it becomes 3x

subtract 6 , so, 3x - 6

then add 2

so, 3x - 6 + 2

The result will be 20

So,

3x - 6 + 2 = 20

solve for x

3x - 4 = 20

Add 4 to both sides

3x - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4

3x = 24

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 24/3

So,

x = 8

Which equation will solve the following word problem? One small pitcher and one large pitcher can hold 12 cups of water. If the

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Option (1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of water hold by both the pitchers (Large + small) = 12 cups

Let the small pitcher holds the water = S cups

If the water hold by the large pitcher is twice the size of the small pitcher, then the amount of water hold by large pitcher = 2S

Total amount water hold by both = S + 2S

Equation for this situation will be,

S + 2S = 12

Therefore, Option (1) will be the answer.

Find the curl of ~V<br> ~V<br> = sin(x) cos(y) tan(z) i + x^2y^2z^2 j + x^4y^4z^4 k

ch4aika [34]

Given

$\vec v = f(x,y,z)\,\vec\imath+g(x,y,z)\,\vec\jmath+h(x,y,z)\,\vec k \\\\ \vec v = \sin(x)\cos(y)\tan(z)\,\vec\imath + x^2y^2z^2\,\vec\jmath+x^4y^4z^4\,\vec k$

the curl of $\vec v$ is

$\displaystyle \nabla\times\vec v = \left(\frac{\partial h}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial g}{\partial z}\right)\,\vec\imath - \left(\frac{\partial h}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial f}{\partial z}\right)\,\vec\jmath + \left(\frac{\partial g}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\right)\,\vec k$

$\nabla\times\vec v = \left(4x^4y^3z^4-2x^2y^2z\right)\,\vec\imath \\\\ - \left(4x^3y^4z^4-\sin(x)\cos(y)\sec^2(z)\right)\,\vec\jmath \\\\ + \left(2xy^2z^2+\sin(x)\sin(y)\tan(z)\right)\,\vec k$

$\nabla\times\vec v = \left(4x^4y^3z^4-2x^2y^2z\right)\,\vec\imath \\\\ + \left(\sin(x)\cos(y)\sec^2(z)-4x^3y^4z^4\right)\,\vec\jmath \\\\ + \left(2xy^2z^2+\sin(x)\sin(y)\tan(z)\right)\,\vec k$
