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

1 answer:

8 0

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.

WHAT IS THE ANSWER FOR 12 1/3 + 8 3/4 +17 2/8 +23 2/3=

gulaghasi [49]

$12 \dfrac{1}{3} + 8 \dfrac{3}{4} +17 \dfrac{2}{8} +23 \dfrac{2}{3}$

Simplify
$= 12 \dfrac{1}{3} + 8 \dfrac{3}{4} +17 \dfrac{1}{4} +23 \dfrac{2}{3}$

Change the denominators to be the same
$= 12 \dfrac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} + 8 \dfrac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} +17 \dfrac{1 \times 3 }{4 \times 3} +23 \dfrac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 4}$

$= 12 \dfrac{4}{12} + 8 \dfrac{9}{12} +17 \dfrac{3 }{12} +23 \dfrac{8}{12}$

Combine into single fraction
$= 60 \dfrac{24}{12}$

$= 62$

Find area of lumber 2 x 10 = 20
garage needs 324 feet, rec room needs 430, bonus room needs 283
324 + 430 + 283 = 1037
1037/20= 51.85 feet of lumber

A square has a perimeter given by the expression 16x+32y. Write an expression for the length of one side of the square.

Lemur [1.5K]

Which set of side lengths or angle measures can be used to construct a triangle A. 50 inches, 90 inches, 35 inches B. 60 inches,

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

D. 60, 45,75

Step-by-step explanation:

For options C and D

For a triangle the sum of the angles must always be equal to 180 degrees

So 180 ≠45+45+80

and

60 +45+ 75= 180

For option A and B

The length of the longer side is equal to the square root of the sum of squares of the other two sides in a triangle.

According to Pythagorus theorem

hypotenuse²= base² + perpendicular²

c²= a²+ b²

90²= 50² + 35²

8100= 2500+1225

8100≠3725

95²= 60²+ 25²

9025= 3600+ 625

9025≠4225

Therefore only D is the correct option
