Triple my number add six and subtract my number twice I get my number plus three

Let the number be x.

Triple the number means 3x
add 6 means 3x + 6
subtract the number twice 3x + 6 - x - x
the result is the number plus 3 means that the result is x + 3

So, combining these into an equation, we get:
3x + 6 - x - x = x + 3

If we solve this equation for x, we will get:
x + 6 = x + 3
The x will cancel out and we will get : 6 = 3

Therefore, this is a false statement.

Juliette [100K]
Factor
in form
ax²+bx+c form
use the ac method
1. mulitply a and c
2. factor the result such that the 2 factors add to b
3. split b into those 2 factors
4. group the terms
5. undistribute common factors
6. undistribute again





first multiply ac
4 times 5=20
now
what 2 numbers multiply to 20 and add to 12
2 and 10
4x²+2x+10x+5
group
(4x²+2x)+(10x+5)
undistribute
2x(2x+1)+5(2x+1)
undistribute the (2x+1)
(2x+1)(2x+5) is factored form whih you have there, nice

What is the 72nd term of -27, -11, 5
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

1109

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is -27, and the common difference is 16.

The nth term is:

a = a₁ + d (n − 1)

a = -27 + 16 (n − 1)

a = -27 + 16n − 16

a = 16n − 43

The 72nd term is:

a = 16(72) − 43

a = 1109

What's the solution ​
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The center is -1,5   and the radius is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 22 from both sides of the equation. x 2 + y 2 + 2 x − 10 y = − 22 Complete the square for x 2 + 2 x . ( x + 1 ) 2 − 1 Substitute ( x + 1 ) 2 − 1 for x 2 + 2 x in the equation x 2 + y 2 + 2 x − 10 y = − 22 . ( x + 1 ) 2 − 1 + y 2 − 10 y = − 22 Move − 1 to the right side of the equation by adding 1 to both sides. ( x + 1 ) 2 + y 2 − 10 y = − 22 + 1 Complete the square for y 2 − 10 y . ( y − 5 ) 2 − 25 Substitute ( y − 5 ) 2 − 25 for y 2 − 10 y in the equation x 2 + y 2 + 2 x − 10 y = − 22 . ( x + 1 ) 2 + ( y − 5 ) 2 − 25 = − 22 + 1 Move − 25 to the right side of the equation by adding 25 to both sides. ( x + 1 ) 2 + ( y − 5 ) 2 = − 22 + 1 + 25 Simplify − 22 + 1 + 25 . ( x + 1 ) 2 + ( y − 5 ) 2 = 4 This is the form of a circle. Use this form to determine the center and radius of the circle. ( x − h ) 2 + ( y − k ) 2 = r 2 Match the values in this circle to those of the standard form. The variable r represents the radius of the circle, h represents the x-offset from the origin, and k represents the y-offset from origin. r = 2 h = − 1 k = 5 The center of the circle is found at ( h , k ) . Center: ( − 1 , 5 ) These values represent the important values for graphing and analyzing a circle.
