Based on the information given, the number is 13

<h3>How to determine the number</h3>

From the information given;

Let the number be x

We have that;

3(my number) + 10 = my number + 36

Substitute the number as x, we have;

3x + 10 = x + 36

collect like terms

3x - x = 36 - 10

2x = 26

Make 'x' the subject of formula

x = 26/ 2

x = 13

The number is 13

Thus, based on the information given, the number is 13

Answer:

Ques 16)

We have to simplify the expression:

$\dfrac{t^2}{t^2+3t-18}-(\dfrac{5t}{t^2+3t-18}-\dfrac{t-3}{t^2+3t-18})\\ \\=\dfrac{t^2}{t^2+3t-18}-(\dfrac{4t+3}{t^2+3t-18})\\ \\=\dfrac{t^2-4t-3}{t^2+3t+18}$

Ques 17)

$\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{w^2+8w+15}+\dfrac{2w^2-9w+4}{(2w^2+9w-5)(w^2-w-12)}\\ \\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{w^2+8w+15}+\dfrac{(2w-1)(w-4)}{(2w-1)(w+5)(w+3)(w-4)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7}{(w+3)(w+5)}+\dfrac{1}{(w+3)(w+5)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w^2+7w-7+1}{(w+3)(w+5)}\\\\=\dfrac{(3w-2)(w+3)}{(w+5)(w+3)}\\\\=\dfrac{3w-2}{w+5}$

Ques 18)

Let the blank space be denoted by the quantity 'x'.

$\dfrac{x}{12a^2+8a}+\dfrac{15a^2}{12a^2+8a}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\ \\\dfrac{x+15a^2}{12a^2+8a}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\\\=\dfrac{x+15a^2}{4a(3a+2)}=\dfrac{7a}{3a+2}\\\\=\dfrac{x+15a^2}{4a}=7a\\\\x+15a^2=28a^2\\\\x=28a^2-15a^2\\\\x=13a^2$

Ques 19)

Let the missing quantity be denoted by 'x'.

$\dfrac{p^2+7p+2}{p^2+5p-14}-\dfrac{x}{p^2+5p-14}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\ \\\dfrac{p^2+7p+2-x}{p^2+5p-14}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\\\\dfrac{p^2+7p+2-x}{(p-2)(p+7)}=\dfrac{p-1}{p-2}\\\\p^2+7p+2-x=(p-1)(p+7)\\\\p^2+7p+2-x=p^2+6p-7\\\\x=p+9$

A bill from a plumber was $306 The plumber charged $150 for parts and $52 per hour for labor. How long did ths plumber work at h

ludmilkaskok [199]

We can make an equation from this.
Our intial value is 150 for parts, and he works for 52 dollars an hour.
We can define <em /><em>h</em> for hours and <em /><em>c</em> for total cost.
Therefore, we have:
c = 150 + 52h.
We can set this equal to 306 dollars, as that's the given total cost:
306 = 150 + 52h
Subtract 150 from both sides:
52h = 156
Divide both sides by 2:
h = 3
He worked 3 hours.
hope this helped!
